Given the architecture, it is not possible to have a bond that does not terminate at the central point of an atom. Bonds, by definition, connect atoms. There have been other requests for creating arbitrary lines/arrows using the scripting language. I think that this is something that we can consider adding ... but it needs to be a distinct object type.
