Use USB-C On the go (OTG) and power charging simultaneously?

Hello out there.

Has anybody figured out a way to using a USB-C On the go (OTG) adapter for OTG functionality, and get power charging working simultaneously?

I have seen some people have had success using USB Y cables with micro-USB OTG, but haven't read anything confirming this works or is even required using USB-C compatible phones such as the Nexus 5x. I saw some Startech Y cables are available for purchase and some dodgy homebrew setups which I wouldn't attempt personally!

I have a USB-C OTG connector and a mains powered USB 3.1 hub. With this setup I can charge or use USB devices successfully on the phone, but it's one or the other, not at the same time. I'm forced to choose the USB charging option on the phone to switch between the two.

Any thoughts or experience on this using a Nexus 5x or similar? Cheers!
