Question Hot Head with Oxy?

I saw a photo - and of course now I lost the website - of a hot head that was using gas (assuming propane) and oxygen. The two hoses were connected with some kind of Y connection that went into the torch. Did I dream this or is this a thing?

I have not seen that, and I am a bit skeptical that a hot head could withstand the increase in temperature since it is designed to be single-fuel.

I think I would look at an inexpensive dual fuel Torch if I were you. That doesn't seem safe to me!

Yeah, I don't think you want to do that. What I have done is hook up a hot head to a bulk tank of propane with an adapter and a hose.
