Stuff controlled by physics (ragdolls for example) can't be controlled by anything else from the game world. For example, physics objects become unaware of their unit's position. And physics joints that ragdolls use to keep their skeletons connected can only link the bones controlled by physics objects. So, even within one model we couldn't attach physics object to model's origin.
But there are two exceptions:
1. Force fields do affect physics objects. So, if we can attach a magnet-alike force field actor to the model actor, and it could then hold a part of physics-based model.
2. There's clothes physics in Art Tools present, and I think it supposed to maintain the connections between normal bones controlled by model animations and the bones controlled by physics. But I had no occasion to experiment with these.
The only problem here is that we can't validate physics based stuff, it's completely actor side stuff. (Though, I don't know anything about some new kinetics features from lotv patch).
