Have you had experience hanging small task spots from ceilings that are way up there?
Take a look at the attached. What we will have is a small kitchen island to light with two spots, hung from a 12-pitch cathedral ceiling. The longer of the two runs is almost 13 feet.
Has something like this worked for you? What was used for the suspension? A tubular downrod? Chain?

Low voltage pendants on rail with spots or not.

You can use the lampcord itself to hold the fixture. Even the cheap, round cords will work but there is a woven cover cord, sort of like the braided water supply lines that have a smoother, more elegant look to them.
If you think they might sway in response to an errant breeze from an open door or window or misdirected A/C vent, then a length of small diameter tubing might work. One of the task lights I installed to light a sculpture came with an extendable wand that was threaded on both ends to fit the base and fixture.
I'll bet you could get a length of aluminum tubing 1/4"-3/8", thread the ends yourself, have it powder coated, feed the wire through and call it good.
Along that line you could produce an arched tube or two or three that would project horizontally from bases attached to the edge of the loft floor you have pictured. A set of fancy task lights cantilevered over the island rather than just dangling from the ceiling would be a different touch.
I have some some repair work in a house with track lighting. 120 volt track with LV transformers at each light.
In this one application the lights had 4ft extension rods on them (option from the company) so that the lights where 4ft below the track.
They where about 10ft off the floor.
But the track it'self was suspended off of the ceiling. I am guessing an other 6-8ft.
I believe that the track suspension was standard option (Juno).
