No, this is not possible.  See:

http://ipe7.sourceforge.net/manual/manual_17.html

"You can use any LaTeX-command that is legal inside a \makebox (for 
labels) or inside a minipage (for minipages). You cannot use commands 
that involve a non-linear translation into PDF, such as commands to 
generate hyperlinks or to include external images."
