Apologies that I do not know the ornamental tree "type"

While now completely severed, are there any options to reattach that
(2 inch diameter) branch -even with limited chances of success?

Grafting is a method of attaching one type of plant to another but have
no idea if it would work for you.
Usually you graft a bud - not a 2 inch log.
Agree. A two inch branch would not attach to 6 foot ornamental tree.

It would require great support, braces, etc.. Wind will move the
branch around so often.

Grandfather used to graft bushes, add peat moss and moisture, then
wrap the graft with aluminum foil (ball) so it roots -- IIRC

Was he grafting or was he "air layering" , a means to make a new plant
from one you already have . I haven't done that , but have had mixed
success starting plants with cuttings dipped in rooting hormone powder .
I'd like to try grafting some better fruiting canes to our native
muscadine root stock , that **** is incredibly hardy .

I was Hoping to reconnect that "cut off" branch, cut from a 6 foot
tall tree/shrub

IMHO that would be difficult; for example. how close was the branch
cut from the trunk of a 6 foot tree -- we don't know the tree
identity.
