Yes, as long as the constant conversion isn't required; I used handles both within Hypercard and in the XTHNGs, along with two conversion routines (compile hc variables into a floating-point array, and convert a floating-point array into a hc variable); the conversion routines were used sparingly.

Hypercard back when the Earth was still cooling, and it worked very
well.

Would either RPN or the use of external-side variables by name be just
as usable to you?
