To answer my own question, I saw one like this at a bike shop today: https://www.minourausa.com/english/ac.../sg300s-e.html

Topeak have a QR bar that clips onto their handlebar bag bracket. Its kinda light and mine now rattles annoyingly. Good solution for running a light and a handlebar bag.

I use the bdop too. Its a great bit of kit.

Geomangear also carries these. The plastic version is a lot cheaper. The mount is the key; you can replace the cylinder with something longer if needed.

In all honesty, plastic brackets are not up to snuff. We use CnC'd alloy only as do other brands that offer quality mounts.
