Seems that an aftermarket adapter incorporating a MagSafe-like feature should work:

    ===<cord>==E |magsafe| =E laptop
You're moving the disconnect point outside the laptop, but (in theory) could provide the capability to _any_ device.

That's a good idea but I think MagSafe is patent protected so it'd have to be 1st party.

Depends on the specifics of the patent.
