I'm trying to get a line produced by tikzmarknodes to start and end with little hooks, i.e., horizontal thinner lines protruding from the ends, more or less to resemble a bracket. I couldn't figure out how to manipulate the node code.

  The hooks should always be horizontal, even if the line ends up not being. So that's ok. But one more thing: Now given the different thicknesses, they thin lines don't connect nicely at the ends (I had the same problem with the bad solution below.) Is there a way to get them to connect fully to the vertical line, i.e., the thing being treated as one drawing? I guess that might be a more general question: Can I change the thickness in a draw command on the go?
