Independent Hungary 1740s

Say during the War of the Austrian Succession France, Prussia and company are able to decisively defeat Austria, is a independent Hungary possible (diplomatically speaking) and if so who might lead it.
Things to consider:
  • As the war progressed both France and Prussia became vehemently opposed to Austria with I think Frederick the Great even going so far as to claim he wished for the destruction of House Hapsburg.
  • Bavaria was eager for Bohemia and Austria, as their ruler Emperor Charles VII was contesting Maria's claim for his wife, another Hapsburg.
  • Saxony wasn't eager for a stronger Prussia in the slightest, but they were definitely willing to seize an opportunity if it presented itself, so they might go for Moravia.
  • France had supported the idea of an independent Hungary before
  • Hungary had given Maria Theresa significant amounts of soldiers during the war
