In my design, I used one of the “fat” chain links to attach a plate, which

I like your use of magnets instead. How did you mount the magnet to the chain
drive though? I can’t figure it out from the pictures.

At first I also tried to attach plates to the bigger chain links (at some point
I even considered using glue), but the other option you have is sticking one end
of the big link into a technic hole.
And conventiently enough, a magnet holder also has such a hole. A very simple
and elegant solution (if I do say so myself), and it won’t fall off easily.
