Four questions are discussed which may be addressed to any proposal of a quantum-classical hybrid theory which concerns the direct coupling of classical and quantum mechanical degrees of freedom. In particular, we consider the formulation of hybrid dynamics presented recently in Ref.[1]. This linear theory differs from the nonlinear ensemble theory of Hall and Reginatto, but shares with it to fulfil all consistency requirements discussed in the literature, while earlier attempts failed. - Here, we additionally ask: Does the theory allow for superposition, separable, and entangled states originating in the quantum mechanical sector? Does it allow for "Free Will", as introduced, in this context, by Diosi [2]. Is it local? Does it provide hints for the emergence of quantum mechanics from dynamics beneath?
