An equivalent to NEXT_HOP_SELF for an IGP?

Is there a way to redistribute routes between IGPs in such a way as to set
redistributed routes to point to this router as the next hop?

I set up a lab where a multipoint subinterface is connecting R7 as below:

   R3 R4
      \ /
        \ /
          R7

R7 shares OSPF area0 with R3 and speaks RIPv2 to R4 (passive interface with
neighbor command). R3 is getting the routes from RIP redistributed just
fine and as expected, with R4's serial interface as the next hop. However,
routing fails because I only have R3 and R4 frame mapped to R7 and not each
other. I want to use a route-map in redistributing into OSPF to tell the
OSPF routers to use R7s serial interface as the next hop for the routes
learned via RIP. I can't get this to work. How should I resolve this, or,
is this a completely useless senario and there are no "knobs" to turn to fix
this? Thanks everyone.
