A month or two ago, whilst on the CNCC's most excellent SRT rescue course, I was recommended to carry a Petzl Micro-Traxion. On Thursday, at the re-belay ledge in Lancaster Hole, using it, together with my Pantin to haul tackle sacks (which worked very well indeed), I thought that it would not be a good idea at all to drop it. Examining it today, I saw a very small hole in the top, which led through to a larger hole in the side, normally covered by the rotating side plate. With the help of a bent paperclip, I persuaded a length of thin cord through: there was then just enough room in the hole for an overhand knot.
A quick web search (DuckDuckGo, not Google) later, I discovered I wasn't the first to do this: https://www.alpinesavvy.com/blog/the-petzl-micro-traxion-has-a-keeper-cord-hole and it turns out it's an official, yet undocumented design feature
