Clearly what is needed is a Type-C to magsafe-style thingy and back. You stick a short pigtale Type-C -> magthing into the Macbook, then another magthing -> Type C onto that, so that you effectively have a magnetic safety catch in the middle of your Type-C cable. Or maybe the magnetic end would connect directly to a hub, since with just one USB port, you'll probably be using a hub a lot.
