On the contrary, it _adds_ that ability, which today does not exist. If you
introduce a Line Callout 2 or Line Callout 3, and move the box - the line
endpoint moves with it, keeping its distance.

If we allowed controlling the line endpoint, it would still move when you move
the box - but you could move it back to wherever you wanted.

... but a kind of connector that we don't have available elsewhere:

* Our connectors actually reach their end anchroing point, they don't stop
short of it.
* Regarding Line Callout 2: We don't have a jointed connector in which you can
move the joint arbitrarily on both axes.

> Piece of cake to create out-of-the-box and still not worth to add to core.

But callouts _are_ in the core. I'm suggesting we make the ones already in the
core more flexible.
