Yes, I like that behavior sometimes. My ConnectionMorphs do this
in a very simple way by picking the nearest point (of 8) around the
bounds of the attached Morph.

I was thinking that one
strategy could be for the AttachmentMorph to have a reference
point (perhaps the center of the other attached Morph by default),
and inquire of the attached Morph which connection point to use.
To get behavior like my existing ConnectionMorphs, the reference
point would be the prior line vertex.

I couldn't, either (a general way would be to draw the Morph again
on a private Canvas and search for its edge along a line to the
reference point...).
