Connect to HDMI, USB (for mouse/keyboard), Audio Jack and Power Delivery (USB C etc.) using Lightning Port on iPad 6th Generation

I am using an iPad 6th Generation which comes with a Lightning cable/port and an audio jack.

I would like to

(1) project screen to computer monitor via HDMI cable AND

(2) use keyboard and mouse using their USB-3 dongle AND

(3) charge the iPad via either a USB-C cable or Lightning cable.

May I know if any of you has come across such a connector/hub that can works with older iPad models like mine?

I also tried searching for Lightning to USB C cable but to no avail (though USB C to Lightning, for newer USB C-enabled iPad is common).

For an iPad with Lightning port, for your list of "AND" aspirations you need to substitute "OR" and accept that USB-C is not viable with your iPad6.

That said, if you accept the limitations of the Lightning port, you can connect HDMI while simultaneously charging your iPad - and using a wireless Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse/Trackpad.

For HDMI and simultaneous power, you will require an Apple (or equivalent) Lightning Digital AV Adapter:

This Adapter supports simultaneous connection to HDMI and a Lightning pass-through power for your Power Adapter.
