Use case or problem
Creating connections between nodes from the graph view alone, without editing notes.
Proposed solution
I would like to create a link between notes if I am dragging one node closer to another. Maybe by pressing “alt” while doing that, a nice line between them would show up, implying the creation of a new connection? Here’s a GIF for visualization - https://imgur.com/a/CfFozW5
Or, instead of relying on distance between nodes, we can just have a possibility to delineate a line from the node in whatever direction we want. There is a similar function in After Effects, called a pick whip, here’s a GIF showing how they have implemented it - https://imgur.com/a/QogP0Cs.
You can connect together any two elements or specific values using that (and I love the backwards animation, when it’s wiggly).
So I think it’s not a big deal to implement, and it would improve the UI a little. I often like to concentrate on my graph view more then on specific notes. Any one of the proposed systems would improve my current workflow.
Current workaround
Click the node (with ctrl+click to open in a new tab, so the graph view does not go away) → enter another note’s name in [[square brackets]]. Lots of clicking and typing!

Another great possibility of that function would be to create weak links this way/press some key combination to differentiate between the type of a link created, so it’s not only a strong link between every node. There is a similar topic already:
