Look at 60's NASCAR front suspension. Where the strut rod cushions were there is an upper ball joint fastened in the K frame. Then a fabricated strut rod is threaded to to the ball joint stud.

Interesting idea, the factory mount is pretty much a caseless BJ, think i would be looking a a particularly chunky one though and frequent inspections..
As the "ideal" result is eliminating the travel arc, I think a replacement system that pivots on the the same centre line as the torsion bar pin is where developers need to be looking
