I've got a Samsung galaxy s9+ with a broken screen. My idea was to use a hub like this to connect everything. My question is if I were to connect a powerbank to one of the usb c "outputs" would the hub draw power from it or would it try to charge it from the "master" device (ie. Smartphone)? And if it's the latter, would putting the powerbank on the "input" cable for the hub cause the smarphone to be unable to controll other connected devices? Edit: Also if somebody had done something like that before, any hubs you can suggest?

I really like this hub: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D5VTBG8F

It's the only one I've found that correctly passes display port alt mode through, so I can stick to all usb-c cables.
