If you are having a hard time picturing this, think of ice crampons with an SPD cleat instead of spikes.

Well, What do you think? Will it work? Has it been done? Can I save myself the time and buy this somewhere?

Kind of like these?

The problem with these is you're still not 100% positively attached to the pedal. Your shoe can still slide out the back unless the strap is very tight, at which point your toes will go numb from lack of circulation.
I've seen pedals with slings that support your shoe, but I can't point you at anything right now.
