Does anyone test capacitors with a MegOhmMeter?

Apparently you can test the leakage voltage at it's
operating voltage. The person telling me about this said:

"I have lots of caps that actually get hot under operating
voltage, not a good thing. Non-electrolytic reading under
100 Megohms are automatically replaced."

Have any of you tried this? Does it work?
I have a capacitor meter and ESR meter.

Sincerely
