"Bridging" FR to FR connections?

I'm finding it hard to find info on this, is it possible to "bridge" FR connnections on a hub?
Lets say the FR switch has RTR 1 and 3 as spokes connecting to a single interface on RTR 2. DLCIs run from 1 to 2 and 3 to 2.

I want 1 to be able to send/receive packets transparently from 3 straight to 1 without knowing 2 is involved.
Now technically this behaviour (remove one FR frame and encaps into another on a diff interface) describes a frame-relay switch. However, I can't make 2 a FR switch as it's connected to a real FR switch and thus the intf-types and LMI queries aren't compatible.

So my question is, is it possible to achieve this using bridging or FR-switching somehow?

The DLCIs coming into 2 can be point-to-point subints or multipoint.

Let me know if you need any more info. Thanks!
