Scroll down near the bottom of this article and read about The Positive Interrupt. It takes a lot of work but IME it's the most effective approach. And yes, it is (essentially) redirecting with food. The good thing is that once a dog learns the interrupt cue you can use it for redirecting his attention to you whenever needed. It's not specific to one behavior.

The Positive Interrupt is a great approach. But it is not redirecting with food. Before you address the barking, you teach your dog a cue using treats. It's the trained cue (not the treat) that is then used to redirect the dog from barking.

Boo craves attention and affection. I've been fairly successful at redirecting him with praise and attention. I may start treats into the equation once he has disengaged from what's outside and starts focusing on me. Long term, I think I'm going to have to tint the window.
