Linking Components.

EDIT:
Here I will add some information and other  resources.

I have been working in a system to link components for some time.

The first use is in Text Component, where you can link to other components and show values.
But this system will be used to add other features, for example linking 2 potentiometers.

Here is a short video showing how it works.
First you start to link components, when you are done, right-click mouse to return to normal mode.

I added a new "Dial Component" (still very raw) and a system to link to other dials.
In addition, now dials are configurable is size and type (knob or slider).

This will be useful in several cases like dual potentiometers or using sliders in combination with screens, but also to create different components with scripts.
This system to link to dials will also allow in the future linking motors to rotary encoders or potentiometers for example.

Now Leds can link (Diode will be added as well) and Controlled Sources can be linked.
This can be useful for many things, for example to create optocouplers based on transistors, SCR or Triacs.

This is an example of how could be an optocoupler based on Transistor.
The Led is linked to the Controlled source, and this one is controlling a transistor.
The opcoupler is the circuit inside the blue box:
