I remember many discussions on different CISPR Subcommittees on Swiss and Sweden's proposals and numerous papers presented on EMC Symposia in eighties and early nineties to replace OATS with absorbing clamp type measurements or to add clamp method as the alternative. All these proposals were rejected.
Keep in mind that correlation between two good, acceptable 'reference' OATS using the same measurement distance is not that great, could be as poor as 8 dB just due to a NSA deviation. How much more dB would be acceptable, that is the question. I wish you and other EMC test method developers throughout the world good luck and success in developing acceptable alternative method to OATS.
