If it is a light to make you more visible to others, such a hook may work. But if your headlight needs to be aimed properly, a hook on fabric strap might not be ideal.
I think the front wheel axle is too low for a good mounting point, but that may be better than a light on a fabric strap. They make light mounts that thread onto a skewer. But fork crown height as mentioned by Yan is better than axle height.
