I do not think it is doable.  Unlike the format language in the
for-each-ref/branch --list family of commands, the pretty-format
language in the log family of commands lack more involved
conditional formatting features.

Unifying these two formatting languages to port features from one to
the other would be needed, I guess.  If we had a note support in the
latter,  something like

$ git branch -l --format='%(subject)%(if)%(note:amlog)%(then)📓%(end)'

may have worked.
