Not easily.

You may be able to reach the end of the cable thru the handle-hole 
closest to the back of the car with a needle-nose plier, but it looks 
to be a pretty tough thing to grab. I've never tried it. I'm not sure 
of any other way to get in short of breaking a window, or at least 
forcing one down enough to open the door from the inside. If you have 
to do this, break one of the small roll-up ones because it's easiest 
to replace. 

If you have to go that route, do the passenger side window - I have a 
spare one on hand and I am not far from you. 

BTW - Make sure the new ones you get are all-metal. Be sure to ask. 
The failure is the 23-year old original plastic handle in zero-degree 
temperatures here in Northern IL.

Note to others - when you break one of these, leave a door open until 
you get the handle replaced.
