Yes, of course.  Many times.  In fact, that's pretty much all I use my jigsaw for.  See the piano hinge here,  http://www.skum.org/bartop/finish.htm, I cut that one with my jigsaw.

HACKsaw. Yup, it will work. A piano hinge is practically tin. It'll cut through it like butter. Either will work fine.
