Never seen anything like that and, if I did, I don't think that I'd trust them. If you put two fingers on the ends of typical canty studs and clamp the brake lever, you can feel them rotate outward as the seat stays twist under the brake load. I'd think anything that just clamped onto the seat stays would rotate outward and lose your brakeing power.
