This might be a nonsensical question, and if so it 
wouldn't be my first foolish question here:

Is it possible or appropriate to add a timestamp object
(RFC 3161) to a PKCS#7 signature during the signature's
creation? 

It is *not* possible for me to make the timestamp the signed data
portion, since I'm already creating signatures on external
detached data. 

What I was wondering is if it was possible to add the timestamp
at the same level as the certificates, much as you add additional
certificates (for a complete signing chain) to a PKCS#7?

Alternately, If there is another PKI data structure that could
incorporate
both a PKCS#7 and a RFC 3161 timestamp, could you please suggest it
to me?

Thanks for any and all help.

- Bob
