Currently if you would like to show a relationship between nodes in different segments of a mind map tree, you can do so using a handle from the top or bottom of the node itself.  However you cannot do it from the front of the node.

After connecting, you can change the connection from the top/bottom handle to the front handle manually. But you cannot create a connection betwee nodes from a front handle.

Reproduce:

  • Create Mind map (A)
  • Create branch (B) and (C)
  • Off of branch (C) create (D) and (E)
  • Click Branch (D) and drag line from top handle to (B)
  • Drag line via (D)’s top handle to the front handle

This being done automatically by clicking on the (+) and draging to another node would be really useful.. unfortunately that moves the segment completely.  If for example you have multiple entrypoints to the same node it is very difficult to envision… maybe I am just using the wrong tool, but I feel as if it would improve quality.

Additionally this makes it easier to route lines without having them go through other nodes.
