Has anyone successfully hung a T5 light that doesn't have anywhere to attach hanging wires? We bought a Current USA Sundial T5 and would prefer to hang it.

You looking to hang it from the ceiling?
You might be able to drill and use eye bolts + adjustable wires so you can balance it.
If you able to open up the cover and see how much room is in there, would have a better idea if this is possible.
 
Yeah you can and you have get the hardware. Also disassemble to drill the holes and tighten anchors from the inside.
Or build frame out angled aluminum which the light sit in you utilizing it for hanging the light vs modifying the light itself. If you buy ATI fixture it will come with all this and everything you need hang it provide better more reliable results. Here my ATI/tank to give you an idea of the hanging kit they provide.
