Maya 2020 How to connect joints to an animated alembic mesh

Question

I'm trying to create joints on top of an animated Alembic mesh in order to use them later as a skin deformer.The current issue is that the joints are following the geometry.

Do I need to create a proper character rig for that? Is there a simple way to connect them directly to the original geometry without to have the package "duplicated geometry/blendshape/follicle"?

Many thanks,
