Rviz - Add local interactive marker to existing object

Note: I'm new(ish) to the inner-workings of rviz / interactive markers

I'm receiving point clouds (PointCloud2) from topics and I would like to add interactive markers around them after they've been added. The trick is that these topics are coming from a package that is not mine. I'm not concerned about the server knowing how I've modified the markers because it's merely for local display purposes.

Is this possible?

One marker for a single whole cloud? Would translating and rotating the marker cause the point cloud to translate and rotate? (if so check out https://github.com/lucasw/rviz_interactive_tf)
