Create a leash effect between player and Item

[neat nebula]

So basically, what I want to make is a fishing-net-kinda thing, and to create the effect I thought it would be a cool idea throw out items as the things holding it together, which would have a lead "effect" attached to the player.
I came across the problem that you can only leash living entities, not things like dropped items.
Another idea I had was spawning foxes with the items in their mouth that were invisible and had NoAI nbt, but when I gave the the nbt tag they could not move anymore.
I hope someone can help me to get this or a similar effect
My current code:

    trigger:
        set {_loc} to location 5 meter in front of player
        loop 36 times:
            # Creating a circle to indicate where to launch the items
            add 10 to {_}
            set {_1} to 20 * cos({_})
            set {_2} to 20 * sin({_})
            set {_v} to spherical vector with radius 1, yaw of player + {_2}, pitch of player + {_1}
            set {_loc} to location of player
            add 1.75 to y-coordinate of {_loc}
            draw 5 of flame at {_loc} ~ {_v} with extra 0
            # Tried this with foxes:
            #set {_n} to nbt compound from "{Silent:1b,Invulnerable:1b,NoAI:1b}"
            #spawn fox at player with nbt {_n}
            #apply invisibility without any particles to last spawned entity for 10 minutes
            #push last spawned entity {_v}
            #make player leash last spawned entity
            # And the items
            drop cobweb named "test%{_}%" at location of player without velocity
            push last dropped item {_v}
            make last dropped item leash player # or make player leash last dropped item```

is there an error?

[neat nebula]

No errors, just doesn't create the leash

[lyric helm]

Ok

Anyone?

I don't think you can leash an item

I had that idea to, but I couldn't figure out how to do it. Would be nice if someone could explain to me what I have to do

Give the Player a nameless and invisible Fishing Rod and make the player right or left click with it in its hand.
And on slot change you cancel the event, or when the Player tries changing hotbar tool, you cancel the event aswell

i just wanna slee

Ah, there would be a problem because the concept I want requires the player to hold the net item to throw it out
