Is there a way that Denmark could receive the part of Hanover France annexed after the defeat of Prussia in 1807.

Via the British monarchy is your best bet. A union with the British crown that is later divided by Salic law. Piece of cake.

Or if Nappy by a whim awarded it to Denmark, they wouldn't be allowed to hold it though (had Denmark gained more from the alliance with Nappy than IRL they'd be treated harsher at Vienna).

If they actually had kept it after Vienna, they would've lost it to Prussia during tone of the Sleswig wars...

Actually, France didnt annex it outright, only the coastal areas. The rest came to the Westphalian puppet king. And the reason France did annext the coastal areas is the continental blockade. So, somehow Denmark must be seen as having in the past loyally AND sucessfully defended the continental blockade as a minimum requirement...
 
Which seems near impossible in light of this:

Denmark had fended off French forces pursuing Prussians retreating into Holstein in 1806!
And Denmark only changed to join Nap because of 1807.

Frederick 7 was an army man and autocrat but his ministers surely knew that the key to success would be an alliance with Britain. Denmark-Norway was split by ocean and ocean had to be forced to reach the colonies.
