I did see this once somewhere in an input method, possibly it was on
windows.
I still have plans to implement such an input mode for im-ja, that is by
selecting radicals which are part of the kanji that you want to input but
don't know the reading of.
It's just a matter of some time and ripping out some code from gjiten.
Still on my todo list.

BTW, a guy just did something like this a while ago for the exact same
purpose (ie, he ripped out the relevant code from gjiten):
