Object Parenting in Geometry Nodes

Let's say that I create three (3) cubes, side by side, in Geometry Nodes. Now, I want to make the center cube parent to the others. Is this possible? I am not seeing an option to parent in Geometry Nodes.

cant you join them and then set the transform centre to be the origin of the middle cube?

Sorry, this is what I was already doing. The challenge is constantly calculating where the middle cube is and that value is not always accurate.

couldn't you scatter the cubes on 3 points, and then use the middle point as the transform centre?

You can probably use object info node. And use that to set positions and offsets in the others.
