Anchoring thrown weapon

I was curious if anybody knew of a feat or archetype that would work here. On the weapon enhancement for Anchoring, you can put it on either a thrown weapon or a melee; however, for the effect to work in combat it has to be used in melee. Is there a way that this can be worked around? It just seems pointless to put it on a thrown weapon like a throwing axe or dagger and it not be able to work. I was wanting to get a throwing axe with anchoring to keep an enemy at a distance till it can be killed, but wanted to be able to throw the axe.

Reach weapon + enlarge + lunge gives you 25' "range".dunno if that's enough

Maybe an anchoring harpoon could work? It seems appropriate at least.

Thanks for the insight. Was hoping to be able to find a loophole so I could throw it and have the anchoring effect take place where it hit, and if that ruling was as everybody says, that it can only be by a melee attack, to see if there was a different weapon enhancement or something that does a similar effect. I know entangle but it is easy to avoid and get out of.
