BL Mouse/Keyboard -> BLE Repeater #2

This isn't really an issue. More of a question.

We have some users who use integrated joysticks in their wheelchairs where they press a mode button and the joystick acts as a BL Mouse. Some users then want to access a secondary device (iOS tablet or phone). To do this you either have to go through the tricky process of clearing the bonding in the wheelchair joystick - or you are forced to pay a lot of money for a secondary bluetooth unit. We've recently got some code working to use a nrf52840 board to switch between devices. It works nicely. (bit of the code here: https://github.com/AceCentre/morAce/blob/3905783f9487c75fb397eb0b1a85042cde36b4b8/morAce/morAce.ino#L262)
But now I'm thinking - can we do what usbkbdle and https://github.com/gdsports/usbmseble do and get a nrfboard or some kind of BLE trinket to act as a repeater? We could then add in functionality to these joysticks - and allow for multiple devices to be paired with them removing the need for clients to buy a lot more expensive assistive technology. Not sure where to ask this question - figured you may know even if its a possible idea and how to go about it!

Cheers
