Scottish dance style _mandates_ taking a hand for diagonal crosses (as
in the cross of a half-figure eight or crossing down between the couple
below to go out around one more couple and meet at the bottom).
You don't put a lot of weight on it, and it doesn't have the pull of a
pull-by, but it's certainly possible.
(For example, 1s face down, man puts his right hand across his body to
take woman's right hand, and they cross down with woman passing in
front. They let go before they're fully facing out the sides.)

I can't imagine how 2 folks could give/use hands while crossing each other's trails since
the movement direction of a cross trail is like an "X"...on the diagonal as
opposed to straight across/up and down like a square thru

If you want to get nitpicky with the no-hands of cross trail
thru ;-),
change star thru to slide thru. (But few non-square
dancers would know
slide thru.)
