Can I put XYAnchor into a container? [message #213079]

I've discovered how to draw a line like what MS Word does for a while. It
keeps bothering in some circumstances. If I use XYAnchor to create a line,
can I also put it into other containers and create the hierarchy outline?
Note that other containers are consisted of Figure, but the XYAnchor is not.

Another question is that I'm not able to move the 'whole' line together. I
must move one end of the line, then move the other end of the line to finish
moving the whole line.
Is it possible to move 'whole' line (the two ends) together??

Appreicated for any reply

It's possible, but with a little work. One way is to create a custom
BendpointEditPolicy (on the EditPolicy.CONNECTION_BENDPOINTS_ROLE) that
handles the request REQ_CREATE_BENDPOINT differently. Instead of creating a
new bendpoint it would set the source and target anchor positions.
