In my office I have a light switch that only controls the bottom plug on one outlet. I have a lamp plugged into it, but I'd like to be able to have another lamp plugged into it also.

This can work, but it will be kind of ugly with the cables everywhere.
Instead is there some kind of device that exists that I can plug into the light switch controlled outlet that will wirelessly toggle a linked device on an always-on outlet?
I suppose it might be similar to those WiFi things you can plug lamps into, but instead of WiFi it just gets it's signal to turn on/off from the device plugged into the other outlet. Does that make sense? Here's the setup I'd envision for this:
