Can you advise me whether it is possible or not to assign a SSL Certificate to a website in IIS7 using the APPCMD application?

I am familiar with the command to set the HTTPS Binding

appcmd set site /site.name:"A Site" /+bindings.[protocol='https',bindingInformation='*:443:www.mysite.com']

and how to obtain current mappings 

%windir%\system32\inetsrv\Appcmd

but can not seem to find any way to map a site to a certificate (say the certificates hash for example)

The answer is to use NETSH. For example

netsh http add sslcert ipport=0.0.0.0:443 certhash='baf9926b466e8565217b5e6287c97973dcd54874' appid='{ab3c58f7-8316-42e3-bc6e-771d4ce4b201}'
