Give it a shot, you never know. But re-enforce whatever you’re hanging a 3 or 5 gallon pot on!Anyone try growing outdoors in hanging baskets? I’m thinking about trying it.

Just to try it lol.And why do you want to have it hang, just for curiosity's sake?
I was wondering the same thing.And why do you want to have it hang, just for curiosity's sake?
As good a reason as any other. I can support that line of thinking.Just to try it lol.
If you are just about anywhere in the Northern Hemisphere you are running out of time to pull it off.I want to train the branches downward using fishing weights
The next step would be to cut off the main stem about a 1/3 of the way up. All the growth that gets removed can be cut into small pieces and the cuttings treated as any other attempt to get some clones going for later growing projects.I want to train the branches downward using fishing weights
I forgot about those tomato set-ups. I don't see that way of growing tomatoes as much as I used to. There were specialized hanging baskets for that type of growing so maybe look for them at the beginning of the spring growing season.I've done it with tomatoes this way.
Thanks for your inputAs good a reason as any other. I can support that line of thinking.

Here are some suggestions based on how I would do it.
I would take the pot down and keep it on one of my picnic or patio tables. That eliminates having to worry about the cables, wires, or the rim of the plastic pot from breaking or coming loose. The plastic in the pots can dry up and become brittle and weak. Come to think of it I would take off all that extra stuff so it looks like a typical grow situation.

Since the tomato cage is removed it will make it easier to work with the remaining side branches. A bit of squeezing, crushing and bending of those stems in the right area will make those spots soft enough so it becomes easier to train then out to the sides and down. Fasten the fishing sinkers to keep those branches in some sort of hanging appearance. Otherwise the plant's natural tendency will be to try to grow all those remaining branches pointing up as @Lerugged mentioned earlier.
Next summer, if I wanted to try again I would start earlier and go for the mainline or manifold look but with the branches hanging down instead of just out to the sides. I would also use a typical hanging pot with just the 3 leads going down to the rim of the pot. Makes it a lot easier to work with the plant when there are fewer wires and extra stuff in the way.
Since the usual hanging pots tend to be smaller than what you have going right now it will mean a change in the fertilizing. Something to keep in mind.
