This is not a correct answer. Having the full LCL with all it's needs doesn't make sense on all platforms.

Think web-browser for example.
The iOS controls by Joost Van der Sluis for example, work like this.

Firemonkey started out like this as a Lazarus project.

The OP may check out the iOS controls by Joost van der sluis and use it as inspiration.
