This kind of happens in the life sciences, PLoS has editors that look through biorxiv and invite submissions: https://journals.plos.org/plosgenetics/article?id=10.1371/journal.pgen.1006448 https://journals.plos.org/plosgenetics/article?id=10.1371/jo... eLife also has started its own pipeline for invited preprints: https://elifesciences.org/about/peer-review https://elifesciences.org/about/peer-review It's not without controversy. Especially the eLife decision to not have an accept/reject decision is controversial (https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-00831-6 https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-00831-6). Personally, I think it's a good decision, there is no place for 'old-style' journals in the way science is developing.
