Possibility to Add or Edit piping anchor points of a component

Give the possibility di add additional anchor points or edit the existing, for a Perspective component (e.g. pump, valve, vessel, etc) or an SVG, so that piping can piping can be linked tp a specific position of the component/SVG, for example bottom-left, instead of center-left
NOTE: The builtin Perspective Symbol "Vessel" already have 3 anchor points on each side, instead of the 1 as most of the other components. It would be great to have the possibility to add, remove and edit these points

As @steve_Laubach mentioned in the forum, it would be great to be able to define this within the Views themselve and allow us to:
- Disable or remove the existing default pipe anchor/snap points that are pre-generated
- Add our own
This would give the ultimate flexibility.
It's worth noting that in its current state, it's basically impossible to use pipes within the view that contains all of the device symbols, as the number of anchor points generated makes positioning pipe nodes impossible without snapping to the wrong point. You can ignore anchor points with the key modifier, but then you lose the horizontal/vertical placement and you end up with pipes at bizarre angles. The number of anchor points currently also kills designer performance.

I feel this is pretty important, especially when the screens are set to percent and the components are expanding to the screen, then the pipes are thrown off. This makes screens look awful when going to different sizes/resolutions.

This would be very handy
