Hello! I want to simulate a hook and a rod such that it's as if there are two joint relationships, one revolute and one prismatic (two degrees of freedom in the system) like follows:

Can I achieve this by adding two joints, one of type JOINT_REVOLUTE and one of type JOINT_PRISMATIC, between the two bodies? I read in the quickstart guide that in a multibody it's one joint for every one link. Is it possible to add two links between two bodies in a multibody? Thanks!
