Can I replicate this joint?

I am using free version of onshape, so I cannot simulate.
Is it possible to replicate the strange joint in the right picture? (taken from this video: https://youtu.be/-ZYO2OFI_ZY?t=688 )


Currently in my model ( https://cad.onshape.com/documents/8f7226b4e83233b27a4f4bba/w/20a7808a2306297cadf8560c/e/10a09692f2eb9f291e1cedc2 ) I am "simulating" that joint by making the long arm slide into a hole which is rotating around an axle, but I would like to replicate the exact mechanism.

    Simulate or animate?
    All versions of OS will animate in the assembly mode.
    Simulate is for stress analysis.

    I want to animate but I can't simulate collisions

    You can add limits to mates that control the range of motion (for animation), if that helps.
