Those are just two joijnts put on top of eachother, usually people will do someting along those lines ( though I wouldn't do it quite like that) as volume preservation joints. I'd put a bit of a gap betweent the two joints at the elbow otherwise you will get strange joint orientations.

I need to do that type of method and I'm trying to search all over online for that information, so that I can do it. Yes, I would do the simple way, but I've got to try that particular method. I don't know what's called?

an elbow to wrist ik. a leg twist.

It isn't a method that's built in or anything like that.
I could help you more if you tell me exactly what you're trying to achieve ?
