How to steep in a keg

[IvanTheTerribrew]

Hi,
I wanted to ask you peeps here in HBT a question:

I read a lot about people dry hopping or adding other stuff to a corny keg by putting it in a nylon bag/cloth bag and weighing it down with sanitized marbles.

I recently got a recipe that calls for doing that same thing with flaked coconuts. I want to do this but I'm just picturing it in my head that if I did put that in it would roll to the bottom right where the dip tube draws beer out and clog it.

I was thinking about trying to use a hard drive magnet or a purchased neodymium magnet and using it to clamp the bag to the side of the keg. My question is.. How would I keep this food safe? I don't think the coating on either magnet would be safe and I can't think of a good way to coat the magnet to make it safe to keep in the beer. Thoughts? Thanks in advance!

I zip tie the bag to the dip tube.

Floss or fishing line tied to the bag and tied to handle of corny keg. Thin enough it won't interfere with the lid seal.
