You better stick to the hybrid encryption scheme unless you want to
violate implicit security assumptions.  In particular we know that we
use the public key algorithm to encrypt a random string (the session
key).

In any case you are working outside of the OpenPGP spec and thus you
would be better off to have someone design you a new protocol to suit
your special purpose.
