I recently saw a picture of a pick up, mounted under the top of the guitar with screws going down to the magnets on a pick up anybody seen anything like this

Hi, all my six string cbgs use old reworked six string necks and have never gone through the box. I like to keep the inside as open as free of "stuff" as possible. But I do use a more substantial neck block and heal.
Yes, in the past, I saw one that just had holes for the extra long pole pieces to come through the top. Thought I saved the pic, but I could not find it. I liked the look. Would work on a deeper box for extra neck reinforement, since the pickup being completely under the top requires a deeper notch in the neck.
I consider a ghost pickup to be not seen at all, including the pole pieces.

Hi again, I have had guitars in for repair that have had the pole pieces coming up through the fingerboard at the last fret area—just another example.

I would think most 6 string CBGs do have neck thru design. Mine sure does.
I thought about that afterwards, but that's generally what happens when there's nothing more than a vague question without a pic to give an idea?

That's called ghosting a pickup or a ghost pickup?
