That is exactly what I suggested. For example, one can use fonts as follows:
\font\XX="Mitsos-Regular/ICU:script=grek,+hlig,+clig:mapping=lgr-text"
\font\YY="Kitsos-Regular/ICU:script=latn,+hlig,+clig:mapping=t1-text"
And this is a feature currently supported by XeTeX.
Regards,
A.S.
PS The T1 "ligatures" are not standard ligatures as are those currently
supported in tex-text.
