If one part is connected to several other parts/connectors, you can only pick up the top most
connector. I think it would be handy to

  • select another connection from further below
  • create a new connection (i.e. make it easier to connect two parts that have already connections
    from the same pin to other parts)

Jonathan suggested as workaround that you raise the wire you want to work with first, because
then you can select its connector in the usual style. There is also the idea that you click on the
connector bundle and then move your mouse slightly towards the wire you intend to edit and
thus select from multiple connections.

A third proposal is to select the connection you want from the infoview.
requirements:

  • all connections per Pin are listed in the infoview
  • connectors are clickable so that the infoview becomes static in the connectors part (and
    therefore editable)
    (- click and drag would still pick up the top most wire or start a new one as it is now)
