Make the arrows associated with free labels able to point to sequence locals

Status: Declined

Any idea that has received less than 5 kudos within 5 years after posting will be automatically declined.

The ability to add arrows from free labels to block diagram elements is great but it doesn't work on sequence locals. It's probably an oversight because they work for just about everything else (N in For loops, tunnels etc).

 

Sequence locals are a really good example of it being easy to lose the context of a wire because it comes from a previous frame (see second image). A label to remind the programmer what it is would be especially useful.  See diagram below including my workaround.

I would like to see this added in future (unless there is a way to make it work!)

There are good, but limited uses for stacked sequences. I use them where they are the best solution. I never use sequence locals!
