Super! 
I am for commiting this, as it is enhancement of current connection
functionality; which does not excludes implementing other ideas.

It is great to see actual screenshots of features: I think we now should
be more explicit about the semantics of the menu items.
Since category titles are not used in menus (correct me if I'm wrong) my
proposal is to write explicit actions. 
Corresponding to the screenshot:

+------------------------------------+
|  Disconnect                        |
|  Copy connection name              |
|------------------------------------|
|  Add Oscilloscope                  |
|  Add Vumeter                       |
|  Add Audio Sink                    |
|------------------------------------|----------------------------+
|  Connect to Oscillator          >  | Input Phase Modulation     |
|  Connect to Trasposed_0.AudioIn    | Input Frequency Modulation |
+------------------------------------+----------------------------+

(note the removal of the line above Audio Sink)
