ㄹ/을 턴데 and indirect quotation
Is there any way to combine the 터 (from ㄹ/을 턴데 grammar) with indirect quotation (~다고 했다).

For example, is there any way I could express "비가 올 텐데" in that indirect quotation form? Or can I only say something like "비가 온다고 했어요"

Answer

I am afraid not. You can say "을 텐데" only in direct speech (quoted speech).
그는 "비가 올텐데"라고 했어요.
When we change this sentence to indirect speech (reported speech) it would be "그는 비가 올 것 같다고 했어요." rather than "그는 비가 온다고 했어요" because "을 텐데" expresses  hypothetical situations or expectation.
