Two separate circuits feeding the two halves of the receptacle.

Even if I were connecting two circuits to the outlet, I would never
think of breaking the neutral link.


Then you would wire it incorrectly -- and dangerously. What you describe is
safe *only* in the case of a properly configured multiwire branch circuit (aka
Edison circuit) and in _no other_ case.

I would think the code would prohibit the connecting of a duplex
receptacle to two different panels.


It doesn't.
