Using a virtual MIDI cable would do exactly what MIDI OX/Yoke is doing for me now. It works so swapping one for the other wouldn't resolve my question.

I tried LoopBe1 (free virtual MIDI cable) but Reaper didn't seem to see it.

The intention behind my question is to simplify things: Code --> Reaper instead of code --> [intermediate MIDI mapper] --> Reaper. Have one less thing to install and setup.

Thanks
Reaper does have API Provision. You can create yourself a dll which reaper binds at runtime which will give you internal exposure to reaper. You can then bind this into some other external application which you write. But. I think you're doing it hard. I think i've given you a pretty simple solution. Think about it.
