Is there an add-on for the Hipparcos satellite? Considering that Celestia uses Hipparcos data, it would only be appropriate to include Hipparcos.

Not yet, but i've just sent in a special request form to celestrak.com, for orbital data on it. Hopefully i'll get whatever data back fairly soon... Model will probably come some time in the future too!

I have an OIG account. It's where Celestrak gets their TLEs.

You can get historical tles from 'Jonathon's Space Report' here...
