Some time ago, I implemented the structures and code necessary to edit
more than one item at a time. I intended to implement multiple-line
stretches, and that would potentially include the method you describe
above. At the moment, though, your only recourse is to select the
"wires stay attached to pins" option in the "Options" menu, which will
do part of what you're looking for.
