There are, as far as I know, two places in the game (not sure about Durge)where you can hug someone spontaneously whether they are your romance option or not, Karlach after Dammon makes it so she can touch people, and the Guardian early game when he's exhausted and needs comfort. I can't think of any others (doesn't mean they don't exist, just I can't remember them).
There should be so many more; Shadowheart crying her eyes out while we stand there like stumps. Astarion at his unascended Cazador moment to name just two and theres probably tons of other times and places where it would be appropriate with no romantic extras thrown at it but just cameraderie and concern.
The animations are in the game - Shadowhearts parents, SH herself, Karlach and the player all have them to name just 4 instances.
Can't be that difficult surely?
