How would you implement the visualization of the connections drawn in the image attached?

1. Can be "drawn" using a FreeFormConnection with bendpoints
2. How?
3. How?

Hm, not sure if that can be achieved with standard connections. You might
try to get that using 2 distinct connections instead of one, but that will
surely turn out to get ugly...

For 0.9.0 there's a new connection type: CompositeConnections. They offer
the option to bundle a set of connections (currently only the also new
CurvedConnections) into one. Maybe that could be extended to support those
scenarios.

If you would really like to have support for those kinds of connections, I
would ask you to open an enhancement bugzilla for it.
