Where do I attach the leash?

I have this Cabrinha bar, I think a 2006. It looks like the picture, only no swivel above the depower straps.
I can't figure out if there is any spot to hook a leash. There is the ring on the grab ball, which would flag out the kite to the leash if I pulled the QR, but then the leash is totally tangled with the lines and in the way. There is a hole on the chicken loop to hook into, so it will hang on to the kite if you unhook and let go, but if you pop the QR, the kite and all is adios.
Am I missing something or is this just a bad design?
This was probably all discussed 8 years ago but I'm too lazy to dig.
I use it on a 9m crossbow from the same vintage. All the gear is still in good shape so I'm not ready to trash it. That QR is a liability though. I have bumped it a couple of times and released it and the kite goes full power and rips out of my hands.
