Hey, just using the "attach cloth to agent" tip from the Houdini onboard help to slide a vellum baloon object along a sphere - to limt the constraints to a point/prim selection, just click the arrow icon next to the empty "Group" field on the vellum attach node, select the desired points/prims on the vellum object in the viewport and hit Enter - works allright, don´t know if it´s the 'proper' way though.
Enjoy anyway :)
