No. That stuff uses wikitext which is a feature of MediaWiki. Discussions, the new message walls, and the still-in-development new article comments all use a new feature called Feeds that is nearly (if not entirely) independent of MediaWiki. As such, these new discussion features cannot use wikitext and therefore cannot use templates, text colors, HTML, magic words, etc. With the new discussion features, if there isn't a button for it, you can't do it.
