Numerous widgets now provide the signal with annotated data (#1655), which will be used quite often, but it is not the default output. Selected data should stay the default; even always showing the dialog would be annoying. The user thus has to connect the widgets, double click the link, and reroute. This annoyed me a lot.
I suggest that holding shift while connecting should trigger opening the link dialog. To not confuse the user, this should happen even when there's just a single signal on both sides.
I know this feature is a bit of easter egg, but a really useful one.
@ales-erjavec, the change is really simple. Have I overlooked anything?
