Skip last leg, but get on different flight in layover city
Disregarding the morals of hidden-city ticketing, I've got a question.
Are there any issues from flying and skipping the last leg and hopping onto a different airline's flight to get to my wanted final destination?
So, I would go from DFW, layover in ORD and skip the final leg to GSO and go from ORD to KEF.

DFW: Dallas / Fort Worth (USA)
ORD: O'Hare International Airport (USA)
GSO: Piedmont Triad International Airport (USA)
KEF: Keflavík International Airport (Iceland)
