In the motions panels, hot key "m" you should find under the drop down, a plug-in called "parenter" or"dynamic parenter," can't remember the name at the moment This should do exactly what you're looking for. I don't have v[9], so I can't say its there for certain, but it should be.
Another method, and this is an old work around, is using two bottles. One bottle is always parented to the hand, and one is always "free." You then use object dissolve to "switch" between the two of them by dissolving the one you don't want at that point. |
