There is always a way, but probably not a very attractive one, as there appear to be no mounts at all.
You could use one of the modern A2Z adapters or an old Hope set up that uses rose-jointed linkages that travel up to the canti mount.
Your other option is to weld mounts and respray the frame. Probably not an option!!

Yeah it's possible but agree it would look ugly. Why not go for maguras, brilliant brakes.
