Indiana Jones-esque whips

So I've been playing the new Indiana Jones game recently, and that made me wonder. We've got dozens of Star Wars related DLCs for Minecraft in the past, yet a franchise that would work perfectly, and perhaps even better with the adventurous nature of Minecraft, would be Indiana Jones, and while a Indiana Jones Adventure Map DLC would be fun, something I think would be a cool feature for Vanilla Minecraft, would be a Whip that can be used, just like Indiana Jones uses his.

It could be used to drag enemies closer to you, or perhaps even disarm them, if aimed at the object in a player or mobs hand. 

And, when whipped at object like fences, iron bars, lighting rods, ender rods, and whatever other blocks similar to those(essentially anything a whip will swing around and attach itself to), it could be used to swing a certain distance, or climb up. The Poisonous Potato Prank Update already experimented with Grappling Hooks, and perhaps those might be to overpowered for the devs to be part of Vanilla Minecraft, but a Indiana Jones-esque whip, would be a more balanced tool with similar usage. 

Maybe you could even add enchantements, to increase reach, perhaps disarming could be an enchantment as well, and in turn there could be a enchantment for objects so they can't be disarmed.

I feel like this has lots of potential, and would make a fun addition to the game.

    The ability to disarm mobs would be fun for two reasons: I like the idea of attacks having different results when they hit a mob's hitbox in different places, and it would allow the whip to function as a tool for late-game players who might want a mob to hold a certain item.

    It could be comparable to the mace or trident, but that use as a tool would make it worthwhile for most players (compared to the mace, which might as well be a gimmick in servers without frequent pvp)

    It could be crafted from drops from a future mob boss. Using more of the item would craft a whip with longer reach, and it should be able to receive most sword enchantments. It being tied to a boss would mean it could be named something more fantastical than "whip" too.
