IIRC This died around the time of the advent of universal e-ticketing.
In the '00 I remember being ticketed ORD-LON-DBV with the ORD flight into LHR and the DBV flight departing LGW.

Likely the former, as the latter would mean conflicting interpretations of the same consideration; although I have never tried it.
You would need to be careful so as not to be caught by the stopover in country of origin limit.
