Flowchart with a line hop

One key feature that I find missing in LibreOffice draw is the ability to have lines that are crossing each other hop/jump.

Obviously not automatically since then you'll have both lines trying to jump each other which will look silly but as a property of a line where you set that it should jump or not + the type of jump (round bridge, square bridge, line interrupt, etc.)

The attachment that I've added shows what I mean exactly with a line jump/hop (just so where on the same page).

With this report I want to submit a feature request for implementing this feature into LibreOffice Draw. I think it will be a significant enhancement of the abilities of the Draw application.

Thanks in advance.

Nice graphic.

I think these jums would be better off made as properties to _junctions_ between lines, not actually lines themselves.

It would really skyrocket Libreoffice draw in front of Ooo and let people leave Visio !
Please someone code it ! That would be awesome ! :)

Those hops would be a great help for wiring diagrams.
