Connecting a Lightpad M Block to a non-TB3 computer?

I originally assumed that this was not possible, because Block needs TB3 port for power. However, recently it occurs to me that a USB3 Y-cable, with 2 outputs for power and USB-MIDI respectively, MIGHT work. There are adapters that allow interfacing between USBC and USB3 connectors, but I don't know if there are any adapters which will send TB3 data into a USB3 connector. Has anybody tried this, or is it not possible as I originally assumed? Red?
