The OpenStudio Radiance measure works in a similar way to what you described, running Radiance prior to EnergyPlus. However in this measure instead of passing illuminance values to EnergyPlus the measure takes the Radiance illuminance values along with the EnergyPlus lighting schedules and creates and applies a modified lighting schedules that reflect the Radiance daylighting results on the EnergyPlus usage profile. I don't know if the measure currently supports PDRF, but if not it could be updated to support that.
