Yeah, it's supposedly doable. NAA had something like that worked up for the F-108.  IIRC, that had a door that retracted into the fuselage.  Too, the YF-12 launched from supersonic speeds and extended the missile on a trapeze through outward-opening doors.  You almost have to have the trapeze to get the missile clear of the boundary layer, and to make certain the seeker has a proper lock before launch.  At launch, the missile gets kicked down and away to fully clear the aircraft before ignition.

LemonJello:
No knowledge to impart on this one, just encouragement to continue.  This is shaping up to be a very interesting project.

Depends on the timeframe and seeker type. Modern IR homing missiles have lock-on after launch capability. Radar-homing missiles are always in practice lock-on after launch, unless they are active homing instead of passive/beam-riding and fired at a short range when the active seeker head can be turned on at launch.
