Is the hanging of cans a simple issue? If you put something that securely allows you to hang the canister it will just be a convenient handle for the bear to carry away your canister?

Hanging a canister is bad on at least two counts: first, canisters are prone to failure from a sharp blow, like falling from a tree. There was a bear in Yosemite that learned to roll canisters off a cliff and them climb down to eat the contents. Second, as you said, it gives the bear purchase on the canister to be able to carry it away.
