Yup sort of like that. Mine route the cables forward which then sweep back to the head tube. Sort of like the classic cable routing for bar end shifters. Reminds me of an old Ducati dustbin fairing. My levers are outboard of the drops, just where my fingers are. Experiment a bit to see what might feel comfortable.
This is the bike and the setup that I used for my only gravel imperial century back a couple of years ago. 50.5 miles north on the D&L trail then turn right around (on single track in the woods) and ride back to the car. These worked a peach the whole way.
