flowchart illsutrating bad autopositioning of connector labels

This is not a bug report, this is rather a feature request to solve the symptom mentioned in #43071 as well.

When I make a flow chart then connector lines can have labels, which is good. But, the labels are positioned automatically, which is not always good. It would be nice to override somehow the labels automatic position and orientation. 

See the attached flow chart about a very important aspect of our life. :)

The example's "yes" label is positioned automatically, very far from the place where I want to see it. I would like to see it somewhere where the "yes (text)" text frame is.

The "no" label is more-or less at a good place but I would like to have a chance to rotate it by 90 degrees. As I did it with the "no (text)" text frame.

I think the best would be leave to present working of connector labels how it is working and improve the text frames instead. It would be nice 
- to have glue points for connectors 
- to attach text frames to these glue points.
