Sliding Bookshelf Joint with Wire movement

I have a design where I have a sliding bookshelf that I need to run a wire into (secret room door). I wanted to simulate the movement of sliding bookshelf as well as the wire that is going to be in the wall stud space.  I have the bookshelf sliding fine, but I can't figure out how to make the wire swing from the fixed point at the top cap of the wall and move side to side with the bookshelf. It's more of a pendulum type motion, but just in one axis constrained by the sliding of the cabinet.

 

Is this possible?

 

here is my current design.

Fusion isn't capable of making sketches flexible. Which is what's required here for the wire to behave as it would in real life. You could achieve this in Inventor.

 

You could put the sketch and wire at the end of the timeline and have the wire update, but you wouldn't see if changing when you drag the book case back and forth with your mouse in realtime. It would only update once the new position has been confirmed.

Makes sense. It was more of a learning exercise anyway. Thanks
