As long as we're batting around ideas for how Rose could come back, maybe a powerful creature of some kind could trap The Doctor in some sort of utopia world where everything is just as he wants it. We could get to see Gallifrey and the Doctor would still be travelling with Rose because she'd have never got trapped on parallel earth and the Daleks would be blasted out of all existence.
Of course the powerful being would have some sort of hidden agenda for giving the Doctor everything he ever wanted. Maybe to keep him out of the way whilst he pulls some kind of evil scheme, which the Doctor would uncover but have to give up his "perfect world" to stop from happening.
That reminds me of the Superman story :
For the Man Who Has Everything by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons published in Superman Annual #11 December 1985.
Plot
Batman, Robin, and Wonder Woman visit the Fortress of Solitude on Superman's birthday, only to find him in a vegetative state, a large alien plant stuck to his chest, its tendrils wrapped around his body. As they analyze the situation, making educated guesses about its origin and function, the alien Mongul steps into the scene, revealing the name of the plant (the "Black Mercy") and how it has put Superman into a coma, feeding him an extremely realistic and plausible dream based on his "heart's desire". As he explains, Mongul puts on a large pair of gauntlets, which apparently allow him to touch the Mercy without risking being attacked by it. Interspersed with these "real" scenes are pages of Superman's dream of living a normal life on his long-destroyed home planet of Krypton, using his birth name of Kal-El and happily married with two children.
While Wonder Woman battles Mongul, whose power is quickly shown to exceed hers, Batman and Robin try to free Superman. Superman's fantasy, meantime, takes a dark turn as, to maintain the plausibility of the scenario, his father Jor-El's prediction of Krypton's doom (in this fantasy, unfulfilled) has led to him being discredited, which leaves him embittered. The Kryptonian society within the dream is undergoing political upheaval, with Jor-El becoming chairman of an extremist reactionary movement called the Sword of Rao which calls for a return to Krypton's "noble and unspoiled" past, which incidentally includes the time he was considered the planet's greatest scientist. A major point of contention in the political struggle is the use of the Phantom Zone, Krypton's other-dimensional prison system, developed by Jor-El and thus making the House of El unpopular. Kal-El's cousin, Kara Zor-El, has been brutally assaulted by anti-Zone protesters, who use the criminal Jax-Ur as martyr and symbol.
Superman gradually begins to "wake up" from the increasingly disturbing dream, with it finally dissolving with a scene of his "son", Van-El, slipping away from him. In combination, Batman has resorted to simply trying to pry the Mercy off of Superman's chest. Without protective clothing, the plant immediately attacks him, putting Batman into his "heart's desire" dream, in which the major traumatic event of his life, witnessing his parents' murder, is foiled and he instead grows into a contented adulthood with a wife and daughter. Superman takes several seconds to recover and, infuriated by both the Mercy's attack and the loss of the fantasy (as Mongul later describes, "escaping it must have been like tearing off your own arm"), savagely retaliates against Mongul, who was about to finish off the defeated Wonder Woman. The two adversaries battle across the Fortress, causing massive damage to it. Meanwhile, Robin puts on Mongul's protective gauntlets and pries the Mercy off of Batman. Thinking quickly, he stuffs the Mercy into one of the oversized gloves, allowing him to safely carry it as he runs toward the continuing battle. Superman, on the verge of delivering a crushing blow to Mongul, becomes distracted by the sight of the large statues he long-ago built of his parents, allowing Mongul to deliver a stunning counterattack. Mongul is on the verge of killing Superman when Robin drops the Mercy on him. Mongul is instantly seized by the plant and submerged into his own deepest fantasy, in which he swats the Mercy aside, kills Robin, then Superman, then conquers the universe.
