Canonical Tag in Body?

We proprietary have a CMS that doesn't allow us to use the canonical tag the proper way in the head without an extensive development overhaul, will placing the canonical tag in the body work? I found this article ( http://bit.ly/3eFc9I ) that is trying to test whether it works or not but there hasn't been conclusive evidence yet it doesn't look like. I realize your not supposed to use it in the body but am wondering if it would work as a temporary solution until we can slot some development time. Thoughts?

You can always redirect other pages to the "canonical" one.

Canonical tag is part of meta tags. If you place it in the body it is 100% useless.
