A "Suspension Stem" on rigid forked frame?

#1
Anybody remember when some mountain bikes came with suspension stems on frames with rigid forks?

Like these:

How do you think a fabricated larger version of the same concept work on a front end of a rigid mini bike?

I was thinking a bicycle frame or motorcycle seat shock like this:

could be welded on a bracket to the upper fork area with the other end attached to hinged platform that's holding your pair of original handlebar clamps.

Here's a quick sketch in paint


Your thoughts on whether this idea could be a practical idea to soften the ride on a solid fork mini bike?
