Several years ago, I had a Mosley 2 L  Quad at 80 ft.
I found some long bamboo poles in South Alabama
and made a full size 40M rotary dipole which I mounted on
the boom of the quad, parallel to the quad elements.  The
only interaction I noticed was a slight reduction in F/B on
15M.  The other alternative is to mount the 40M dipole
parallel to the boom, through the quad elements.
Go for it! You won't regret it.
