Thank you :)

I see no reason why this would be impossible for technical reasons.

Unless I missed something, it would make the persistent volume just as
secure as whatever protects the content of that other USB stick.
Presumably, that other USB stick would have a passphrase that the user
needs to enter manually. And one would need to keep that other USB
stick physically close enough to their Tails stick, so they can use
their Tails persistent volume. So I don't quite get what is the actual
security advantage this would bring. Can you please clarify how, and
under what circumstances, it would make some attacker's job harder?
