Luks use a keyfile and a password together

I was wondering if anyone knew a way to require both a keyfile and password together to unlock an encrypted drive. I've tried googling this issue but I can't seem to get any results other then keyfile vs password.

Thank you for your time

Encrypting your keyfile via (for example) GPG? To unlock, something like

gpg -d /path/to/keyfile | cryptsetup luksOpen ...
