Your voice has been heard. 
In general the SkeletonRenderSeparator component should be similarly easy to use as a SkeletonAttachment component, you just set the separation Slot where you want to insert (attach) your GameObjects at, then you can place as many GameObjects with a BoneFollower component each as you need.
