Operating One Brake With Two Levers?

How would you operate one caliper with two levers, in a situation where inline (interrupter) levers don't work. For example, if you wanted a conventional aero brake lever on the drops and a second brake lever at the end of the aerobars, both operating the front brake. You couldn't use inline levers, because of the location of the two levers.

I recently asked a similar question and the idea that I received was Problem Solvers cable Doubler. Check out their site.
