Scottish dance style _mandates_ taking a hand for diagonal crosses (as
in the cross of a half-figure eight or crossing down between the couple
below to go out around one more couple and meet at the bottom).
You don't put a lot of weight on it, and it doesn't have the pull of a
pull-by, but it's certainly possible.
(For example, 1s face down, man puts his right hand across his body to
take woman's right hand, and they cross down with woman passing in
front. They let go before they're fully facing out the sides.)

I can't imagine how 2 folks could give/use hands
while crossing each other's trails since the movement direction of a cross trail is
like an "X"...on the diagonal as opposed to straight across/up and down like a
square thru

Depending on the application, you may be able to
substitute star thru
then pass thru for cross trail thru.0
If you want to get nitpicky with the no-hands of cross trail
thru ;-),
change star thru to slide thru. (But few non-square
dancers would know
slide thru.)
