Yes. This is an old JKD concept called A Framing. My old instructor has a plethera of A Frame stuff. My go to is Chris Herzog's Ghost series. A Framing has it's place though. Good to have in your back pocket.
I've been looking at the Ghost. But doesn't the whizzer leave you open to the step-around arm-bar? It seems like you're just giving the guy a deep hook.

I address that in the week in roc episode on the Ghost.
I use this all the time - I prefer a to not connect my hands and to use my hips to lift though, seems more versatile and great for sneaking that knee back through.
