How do I lock a planet's orbit to an STC barycenter equator?

How do I get the orbit of a SSC planet to be locked to the "equator" of an STC-defined Barycenter?
For example, I have a barycenter with a defined Obliquity and EquatorAscendingNode. How do I lock a planet or a star's orbit to that? Meaning, that the Ecliptic of that solar system is the Barycenter's "equator".

Set the orbit inclination angle to the same as the obliquity.

No, I mean, if I change the Barycenter's obliquity, then the orbit's inclination changes with it. The same way it does for a moon orbiting a planet. That's what I'm looking for.

Can you do the EquatorAscendingNode line in the .stc file?

Yes. The orbits still won't auto-change.

Are you able to do it with a star but not a barycenter?
