Dual brake lever system-brifters on drops and something else on aero bars. Possible?
As the title says, I'm wondering if it's possible to install a brake cable and lever system for use with on clip-on aero bars when I presently have brifters on my drop handlebars.
Comments, instructions, pictures and/or links to how it has already been done would be VERY welcome.

Triathlon racers have made a market niche for dual controls,
duplicating , braking and gear shifting,
in the tucked over aero riding position, on the aerobars,
so as to not have to come out of it for speed adjustment.
Of course if you spring for the electronic derailleur stuff there are secondary buttons for those too.
