Not sure if the previous post was referring to toggle bolts specifically, but toggle bolts will hold a lot of weight especially as the size goes up, into the hundreds of pounds. What you need to mitigate the lever arm is an L-shaped bracket rather than something like a bare hook but even with a lever arm of 10-fold, the numbers might still work out.
