keeping the grip on things

in The Commons
Is there a way to lock the hand pose (as in gripping a sword or some such) while manipulating the rest of the figure pose? I understand that pinning locks the bone in space. I want the hand and its parented item to move freely without losing the pose.

Select the bones and then Edit>Figure (or Object)>Lock>Lock Selected Node(s)
Thank you!!
Second question is there a key stroke that will temporaily disable a selected bone so that an adjustment can be made or is it necessary to remove the lock of all concerned bones?
This is a great tool for easy locking/unlocking of bones: https://www.daz3d.com/ultimate-pose-mixer
