hi, does anyone know how i can catch an AddRequest on a Connection?

I want to move an Figure on Connection and want to add it to the parent
of the source/target of the Connection. i want to split the connection
and create an new connection between the source and the new element and
between the new element and the target. I tried to install an
containerEditPolicy on the connection, but i can only catch an
selectionRequest.

Thanks

The DragEditPartsTracker adds the connection layer to the exclusion set.

This was done at a time when targeting of figures was not as robust as it is
now. It could probably be removed, but that could result in performance
decrease as every connection would get tested for intersection. Apparently
this scenario isn't too common.

So, for now you can override/extend getExclusionSet, and make sure the
connection layer is not included.
