That's not possible. You can request features at http://bugs.exim.org/

I suppose the equivalent configuration when using the dnsdb lookup type
would be (using 92.48.122.147 as an example ip)

condition = ${if match_ip{92.48.122.147}{${lookup dnsdb{>:a=${lookup
dnsdb{>:ptr=92.48.122.147}}}}}{true}{false}}

P.S. This wont turn into the usual dnsdb argument as I no longer see the
emails that trigger such arguments.
