I am loading a GLTF model that has animations. Similar to this example  
[[three.js examples](https://threejs.org/examples/#webgl_animation_skinning_additive_blending)](GLTF Example).

I want to ‘merge’, ‘group’, or somehow connect a THREE.Mesh to the GLTF model so it stays connected upon animation. For example a Mesh hat. Is there a way to do this?
