Separating Quicksync encoder from OBS?

I'm not a coder so I'm not sure if this is doable or even worth trying at all but, would it be possible to separate the Quicksync encoder from OBS?

This would allow users to point to the encoder from Virtu MVP instead of just creating a secondary virtual monitor as a workaround. I think this may work because I have tried using an encoding program called Mediacoder which has separate exe files for the GUI and the encoder itself, allowing me to use Virtu MVP to just force the encoder to I-GPU mode.

Right now in OBS, I am still able to use quicksync to encode if I use Virtu MVP but unable to use Game Capture (I'm guessing it's because OBS isn't seeing my dedicated graphics anymore). Of course the second virtual monitor works fine but a clunky workaround.
