I can certainly imagine a connection made by spring-loaded contact
pads and held in place by neodymium magnets.  Neodymium magnets do not
need to be very large before a substantial amount of force is required
to separate them.

It is a neat idea, but I imagine it would be substantial amount of
work to develop for self-use.  It would be a great exploration space
for industrial design, but I am certain there must be multiple COTS
solutions, if it is just a solution the OP is after.
