Interesting 2 scales approach

I have been trying to add some more notes to my chord playing, and i have been trying a 2 scales approach for playing over 1 chord, by also thinking the V chord over it:
for example :
-On a Dmin chord i would play D aeolian in combiantion with an E lydian dominant, thinking the tension from an E7 chord over the Dmin
-On a G7(altered or not) chord i would play G mixolydian in combination with Dflat lydian dominant, thinking this tritone subs over the G7 chord.
-On a Cmajor chord i would mostly stay in C ionian, but sometimes use some G super locrian for tension.

Anybody else uses the same idea ?

I guess the way I think of this is that if you have one measure of Dm, you could treat the measure as two beats of A7 then two beats of Dm.

Same with G7 = Dm7 and G7, OR D7 and G7

and Cmaj7 = G7 and Cmaj7

You delay the chord by two beats by adding in a V7. There are a lot of possible expansions of this concept, especially if you include tritone substitutions of the V7 and expand the idea beyond 2 beats/2 beats.

I think of these as bebop-oriented ideas, and I think of them by chords and not scales. Charlie Parker's improvisations are full of this concept.
