I think for 85-90mm or longer arms you'd want a long pull lever (just guesstimating - research this a bit). You can get long pull levers for drop bars or flat bars, but I don't think there are long pull brifters, so if you want brifters you'd need a short arm v-brake.
If the OP is talking about cantilevers, then it’s possible. Is they are talking about actual center pull calipers without mounting studs on the stays and forks, then it’s not possible without frame mods
