That might work... It might get really tricky, however, to make the spotlight actually look like it is pointing at the location you specify - one can only do so much with the pixel count of Minecraft.
Well, that shouldn't be too hard actually. All it needs is a bit of geometry and 3d coordinate plane algebra. All the game needs to do is create a right triangle based on the coordinates between the spotlight and the block it is pointing at and rotate it based on the angle. It's actually very simple to do.

Plus Enchanting Table books rotate smoothly, so that wouldn't be a problem.

Wow, for some reason I was thinking of a rotating block, not a spotlight of the same idea as the enchanting table. Yeah, that would work much better.

Definitely - I had no idea what I was thinking with the spotlight part being a full block. An enchanting table-esque system would work much better.
