Add segments to link lines with link tool ctrl-click

Linking of industry units and other elements on large constructs can be frustrating and quickly devolves into a gigantic all-consuming pink hairball. I played another game which had a good solution to this, which seems compatible with the current implementation of sprite ropes for links -- There's an addon called wiremod for a game called Garry's Mod which had this problem for a long time, but eventually added a way to organize and beautify links by allowing the user to place links with multiple line segments.

 

This was accomplished by clicking your starting point and right-clicking (ctrl-clicking with DU controls) arbitrary positions which would add a segment endpoint to the wire. This allowed the user to organize even the most complicated setups like one would layout a circuit board, except in 3D. I believe this is the perfect solution to issues with link visibility.
