Can I using hand tracking and controllers at the same time?

Hi,
Can I use controllers as an addition to my hands? For example, as additional trackers for real items.

PS: Perhaps it doesn't matter, but I'm developing with the Unreal Engine.

      Tracking hands uses visible light and tracking controllers uses infrared light. The current Quest hardware can't do both at the same time, apparently. The Quest 2 can do things now that we thought were impossible at launch (high frequency hand tracking and 120hz mode), so maybe there's a way, but it would require firmware changes from Oculus, not something that can be done programmatically.
