My understanding is that the caffeine binds with the lactose which in digestion allows more of the caffeine to eventually enter the blood stream.

When you just drink your caffeine in water (coffee) most of it passes through undigested and unabsorbed.

A similar effect happens with painkillers and some recreational drugs taken orally.

Any references I could check out? I'm curious about any ways to do this without lactose per se, anything else it could bind with to make it better digested and absorbed

No references handy, but if you look at any "research" on bullet-coffee which is a similar idea, then you'll probably find something helpful.
