"FWIW, there was quite a discussion about this a while back.
Ford Research Laboratory has developed an "Electrohydraulic
Camless Valvetrain (ECV)" which uses electronic solenoids
to control fluid, which in turn actuates the valves. For a
one page down-to-earth description see Machine Design, Nov 7,
1996."

It probably was in that Machine Design I read about one implementation.  They
did a "cute" thing.  Did away with the starter.  Just opened a valve, squirted
in some fuel, closed the valve and fired the plug.
