How can one use + instead of tril
Baroque pieces use + for trill. Can one do it and replay correctly?

No, workaround: Use a regular trill and make it invisible, then add + as a staff text
Baroque music in general does not use "+" when trill is meant. Are you sure you are seeing a "+" and not a "tr" in a font that makes it look like "+"? And are you sure the people reading your score will understand the notation you are trying to emulate?

Many baroque composers including Telemann use + for trill.

That picture only shows what the engraver used to represent trills, not necessarily what Telemann wrote, but if you have an original Telemann script in his hand I am prepared to stand corrected.
Why not use the plugin:

Baroque Trills Engraver
Plugin for engraving baroque style trills. You can choose "+" style, or Muffat "t" style.
A + IS used in Baroque music. See Veilhan "The Rules of Musical Interpretation in the Baroque Era", page 44.

Trill
Trills constitute a group of ornaments common in manuscripts, including versions such as the half-trill (praller) and the mordent. The trill is an ornament whereby two adjacent notes (a principal and auxiliary one) are alternated quickly over multiple times. This is usually denoted by “tr” or “+” over the note to be embellished (Mozart, 1998; Donington, 1978).
