Parenting an Object to a bone or get a similar effect with other methods

I have a player object which has a box in his hands as a placeholder for a weapon. To attach a weapon I set it’s parent to the weaponPlaceholder of the player. This worked fine for static player object. If, however, it is animated with bones, the weapon does not move along. So I tried parenting the weapon placeholder to the armBone of the players’ skeleton which works fine in Blender. But apparently, Babylon does support a bone as a parent for an object. Neither by importing from a glb nor by …

How do I know exactly the index of the target bone? I’m using Blender.

You have a getBoneIndexByName(name) method on the skeleton object.
