Question on Waist Tabs in place of suspenders

Is it possible to have eyelets or an elastic tab-loop sewn near the hem of your shirt. Tuck in shirt like normal. Then, tie the shirt eyelet\loop to the suspender buttons on your trousers. Has anyone done this? And would it be a bad idea?

I think this would solve a number of issues:
  1. Suspends your trousers off your shirt (at your desired length, tailor should do this for you on each of your shirts).
  2. No suspender needed
  3. keeps shirt from puffing out of trousers
  4. adds additional security to keep trousers in place, inconjunction to side tab adjusters....

Thoughts, and experiences on this? Ive only ever seen this on tuxedo wear
