Out of interest, if you were going to a private site within shouting distance of an airfield with published approaches, ILS, etc, could you fly IFR to the airfield and perform a normal approach (assuming minimas are ok, etc), then break off the approach when you're out of the cloud and proceed VFR to your (private site) destination? Would you have to complete the approach (and effectively start a new flight), or is there a procedure for this?

Obviously, I'm assuming that you can clear built-up areas, aren't going to break rule 5 while transiting, etc. I'm just curious about using an IR-capable destination as a way-point for getting out of IFR and into VFR before transiting to a VFR-only destination.
