R – Delphi IDE – CodeRush visual “connectors” alternative

coderushdelphiide

I used to work in Delphi 6, and got very used to having CodeRush's various helpful IDE additions. Many are now in the IDE itself, or I've managed to replace with something else, but the one feature I REGULARLY find myself wishing I had in Delphi 2007 still, is the ability CodeRush had that added little "connecting lines" between components that were linked to each other (lines showing the connections between TDataSets and TDataSources, for instance).

Does anyone make something that does that in the newer Delphi IDE?

=== * LATER NOTE / Clarification * ===

Andreas is correct in his comments below… "I don't think that he meant structural highlighting which works on the source code. He wants "connection lines" between components in the form designer."

He also says "as far as I know there is no such tool for Delphi 2005 or newer".. which is a bummer if true. (…and if that IS the case, what's the best place to make Delphi IDE feature requests?)

I don't think it exists. The best place to make form designer feature requests is here.
