I thought of something else recently. Is there any scenario where an individual Eastern or Oriental Orthodox Church could also be in Communion with the Catholic Church, too?

No, because communion requires a shared faith. You can either share faith and communion with Rome or share it with the Orthodox. Now historically speaking, in the ancient Church there are examples of patriarchs temporarily breaking communion with each other. So for example Antioch may have broken communion with Rome and maintained it with Constantinople while Constantinople shared communion with them both.
 
Orthodox church pre-suppose that theory is not equivalent to faith.
