To clarify the unexpected node link direction

[itzg]

It would be really nice if there was a way to create a link by dragging and dropping a node onto another while holding a modifier key. When there's a large number of nodes in the mindmap the Add/Edit Jump dialog window can be daunting to find the desired target node.

try press CTRL and DnD a node to another one, it should work is it needed functionality?

Thanks. Your comment helped me realize that holding control down before starting the drag was the important part. I was previously pressing control after starting the drag operation.

With that said, the created link direction seems backwards to me. Dragging node A onto B I would expect a link that points from node A to B, but instead the created link goes from B to A:

it works similarly to file or URL links: if you place something on a node, it is added as a file, URL, or link to the target node

Since my original concern wasn't valid, should I/we change the title to clarify the unexpected node link direction?
