Is there a way to have an image layer (e.g. a weapon) above side-view battlers?

Hello! I'm currently adding weapons to each frame for my side-view battlers in their spritesheets. I think it'll look really cool to actually see them holding their weapon in battle!

However, my dilemma is that I have 100's of possible versions of my "hero" character, because there is a custom character creator for them in my game. Therefore it's going to take a VERY long time to add the weapon to every single one of those battler spritesheets.

I'm wondering if there's a method or even a plugin that will grab the image file of the weapon and let me have it as a layer above the battlers? I hope so because that will make it less time consuming and would also allow me the option to change the look of the weapon throughout the game for the hero. They wouldn't have to be "stuck" with that exact same weapon forever. Hopefully that all makes sense! Thank you in advance!

This plugin allows you to use the note tag <Weapon Over Actor> in the actor or weapon note box to draw the weapon image on top of the actor image.

Thank you for the suggestion! That's a great plugin. Unfortunately what I'm trying to achieve is a little more complicated. ;-;
