Is there a Bevy equivalent to JMonkeyEngine's SkinningControl class?

Is there a Bevy equivalent to JMonkeyEngine's SkinningControl class? This class allowed for the direct manipulation of armature joints. For instance:

Spatial someImportedGLTF = new Spatial();
SkinningControl sc = someImportedGLTF.getControl(SkinningControl.class);
sc.getAttachmentsNode("Left_hand").rotate(90, 0, 0);

In this case someImportedGLTF would be a character, and we would be rotating the "Left_hand" of the armature which changes the character's mesh as well. I understand that bevy has skeletal animations using AnimationPlayer. However, from what I've seen, this only plays prior made animations stored in a animations struct containing a Handle<AnimationClip>.

Essentially, is there any way to access an imported glTF object's armature for direct manipulation instead of playing animations?

Yes. Once a gltf scene is spawned the armature will exist in the world as a hierarchy of entities(bones).
You can create a system that looks up the entity by name("Left_hand" in this case) by querying for the Name component and editing its Transform.
The AnimationPlayer itself is actually implemented in this way link.
