[Flame suit on]: you can make this work by sawing off the hanger and just using the claw!! Its called Drewing and seems very popular amongst a sub culture of the biking community [Flame suit off] [and I really was just kidding! Get a different derailleur]

I also think that if you are handy (or have a friendly machinist near to hand) you could adapt the original pivot bolt and fabricate a tabbed washer. I'd probably cut off the threaded portion and drill/tap a hole in the remainder of the pivot bolt to sort of replicate the mounting system that @verktyg shows in the catalog page.
