Hi Hans and List,
2) Can I tell \connectboxanchors to use my MetaPost code and pass key=value
pairs like I do with \setMPpositiongraphic?

This indeed passes key=value pairs, but I cannot get it to pass mine. Is there
some intermediate step? Your example has a key=value pair in \connectboxanchors
and which is accessed in the MetaPost code. The pair, and MetaPost code are:
rulethickness=1pt
mpvard “rulethickness"
However, if I change the pair and MPcode to (see attached example for full code)
myrulethickness=1pt
mpvard “myrulethickness"
it doesn’t work. Similarly, you have a pair and MPcode that don’t match.
rulecolor=darkgreen
mpvars "linecolor"
This may be a historical fluke, but it suggests that there is some intermediate
translation that I am missing. Any way I can name and pass by own key=value
pairs?
I updated lmtx so you can test it again.

ps. For the adventurous some bonus experiment in the engine:
\def\ccc#1#2#3#4#5#6#7#8#9#A#B#C#D#E#F%
{\def\ddd{#A-#D-#E/#F-#4-#1}%
#A-#D-#E/#F-#4-#1+\ddd}
so, upto 15 arguments:
[[\ccc123456789abcdef]]
(not that we need it in the context core, so more a gimmick for users
and it fits the much is already hex approach)
