I have seen entire
backstays of dux (and also of 'normal' sk75 dyneema) with an antennea wire threaded up the hollow
core middle of the
single braid. Works pretty well.
There is no reason your idea would not
work very well. You would just need to make sure that #1 whatever fitting the
dyneema loop thru are smooth and chafe free and #2 you might want to cover the
dyneema with some rubber tape to protect it from UV. Salt should cause no concern at all.
