You won't be able to achieve this with the native paypal integration. The native paypal integration is coupled to the cart/Live Order commerce API methods.
Meanwhile, the quote to order process doesn't use the cart/liveOrder. It uses suitescript to do nlapitransformrecord.
You might investigate the alternative route. I'm not 100% sure, never done it, but seems something that can be PoC'd: Use a 3rd party implementation of the Paypal payment integration (with paypal as an "external payment"). This is offered by SoluPay.
