Allow node/edge to show 5+ indicators at once #630

Description

Describe your issue

If selecting a node by clicking on its border is good enough, we don't need the Details Indicator for selecting the node. In which case, it'd be nice if it could just be used to show if a node has notes (maybe rename to "Notes Indicator" too), and it could go on the bottom right of a node, where other Content Indicators go. But there isn't enough space for a fifth indicator, if all of them are indicating at once:

Solution you'd like

Unrefined notes:

  • create edge by click-drag on top/bottom of node to bottom/top of another node, like this example except top/bottom half distinctions
    • probably could give node a draggable event that checks if we're on the top half of pixels or bottom half, and starts a connection event based on that
  • use a different indicator for hidden neighbors
    • like a heavy shadow on the top vs bottom (jk, this doesn't allow hover/click for viewing the hidden nodes)
    • maybe a second card border on top vs bottom like Kialo does
  • ... but the badges will still look awkward for edges?
    • I guess if edges don't have a border, they can keep expanding outwards
