Serge have a clever unit called Analogue Shift Register.
Not exactly what you described, but similar.
I have built my own version of such an ASR (no idea how Serge have
implemented it). My version can be found at

Someone (Gene? Joachim?) has built another version with a shift register
for clock propagation, which is the better solution, IMO.
So just take my circuit as an idea for own experiments.
It's important to propagate the clock from right to left, while the
voltage
is propagated from left to right, for obvious reasons.
Capacitors will loose some of their charge over time, of course. If you
want infinite hold times, ADC/LATCH/DAC is the way to go.
For a few minutes holt time, my circuit works fine.
