Rather than hacking binaries and compressing files etc. to burn a disc, is there a way to have the dreamcast read game data from a PC HDD through the BBA?

No, no such method exists.
Some people have looked into it without much success AFAIK.
The first one to achieve that will be declared a God by the DC community.

Not the answer I was hoping for, but at least after much frustrated searching I have a definitive answer.
The new SDIso module for dreamshell can play some commercial games now, so maybe there's hope on the horizon.

The new Dreamshell allows for loading games over LAN.
