Putting lens on a dovetail

hey

not sure if I'm missing something obvious here

as previously mentioned I want to bolt my biggish 200mm lens onto a GEM.

The lens is too heavy to piggyback off the back of a 80ED

I rang a couple of stores and they could only suggest mounting it on rings which i don't like the idea of with a expensive lens.

Is there a way/adapter/whatever to mount the tripod leg of the lens (standard screw size for cameras, the exact same screw hole that is on the base of most slr's) _directly_ to the eq6 dovetail or dovetail plate?

hope i have my terminology right
