Flat bar to drop bar conversion: Brifter + hydraulic disc options

Hi!
I have a 2007 hard tail MTB turned into hybrid. It's wonderful, but it would be even nicer if it had drop bars and hydraulic disc brakes.

Thinking through the conversion, there's one thing I'm stuck on:
Is there a Brifter that supports 3 chainrings (alivio FD) and drives a hydraulic disc brake (Shimano preferred, but not necessary)? Brake mounts are IS.

If this exists, I could keep my existing 3x9 setup (or switch to 3x10, if needed) and just switch out the frontend.

Thanks!

Edit: I'm hoping for a fully hydraulic system, not based on cable-actuated hydraulics, such as the Hy/Rd
