rocket science - Halley's Comet as a "Free Taxi"


Now that the ESA has landed a probe on a comet, namely Rosetta's Philae Probe, could we possibly land a probe on Halley's comet? Fuel seems to be a limiting factor for interstellar expeditions - could using Halley's comet as a free taxi, shutting down all equipment once landed to save fuel and energy, aid in such expeditions?
