Drilling Hardy Plank Siding

Anybody have any tips for working with Hardy (Hardie?) plank siding?
I've volunteered to hang some hooks on a hardy plank wall. Will I
need masonry bit to drill holes? I know the manufacturer isn't keen
on installers using screws to hang the siding. Does that apply to
"accessories" also? I'm guessing fiber/cement board isn't intended
for weight bearing applications and I'll have to make sure to find
studs or at least reach the sheathing if she wants anything heavy
hung.
Thanks,
Chris
Hi,
My cabin has that kind sidings on exterior wall. I only hung couple of
hose hangers. I drilled little larger hole that the screws into a stud,
I put teflon washer under/over the hanger holes. Nothing bad happened
over the years.
