Maintaining AF & aperture control with reverse lens?

I've already reversed a 23mm AF lens with 52mm filter thread on a Fuji X-T2 using an adapter. I've seen somewhere online about an accessory, albeit for Canon SLRs, that can let one reverse a lens after which the accessory can be mounted to let AF and aperture to be controlled manually. I was wondering if such a thing exists at this time for Fuji X-mount? It's not something I strictly need, but could come in handy because I could then use the camera's focus bracketing (if it'll even work at such magnification). I've found that AF, manual aperture control, and image stabilization can be great for macro despite what the majority of people might think.
