No. The wildcard strings only work on Finds; there isn't any way to save existing text into a buffer. Someone adept at FrameScript or the FDK might be able to come up with something, but... In your particular example situation though, you can easily work around the limitation by searching and replacing for individual straight quotes and replacing them with smart quotes.
