Laura - I haven't seen this approved by LEED yet, but you could always make your case and submit it. From what i remember, the folks at IWBI are looking for connections like these. You might have luck emailing or calling IWBI directly. They answer the phone.

There are many WELL Features that overlap with LEED Pilot credits. Emphasis on the overlap part though, achieving the WELL Feature may not fulfill all that's required for a LEED ID credit point.
In Appendix E of the WELL reference guide, there's a list of WELL Features with LEED v4 similarities, including Pilot credits.

I asked GBCI this question! I was told that you CAN submit a WELL feature for a LEED ID credit if you register your project for WELL...I'd recommend emailing GBCI because they told me that if I pursued this approach I'd have to upload the email to LEED Online.
