Yes, although you would have to create your own object to do that.
The connection points are defined in the .shape file, in section.

There are shape and sheet files which direct the placement of connection
points. Good luck.

OK, thanks for the ideas. I have edited shapes before so that would
seem to be the way to go. I was just asking to see of there was an
easier way.

It needs manual edition of the shape, but it's not hard enough to be afraid

As was pointed out some months ago, as a workaround you can draw a line
over a side of a box anchoring it to its corners. Then you can increase
the number of connection points on that line.

you can delete connection points on Standard Line.

It would get even trickier if we wanted an arbitrary number of points on

One trick you can use here is to create the class, then create a straight
line, attach the two ends of the straight line to two corners of the
class. Then if you CTRL-click (or middle mouse button I believe), you
can add as many connection points as you like.
