Really cool feature!
One small issue I found is that the highlight only seems to be updating when dragging on the lift half of the multi-socket node:
Some further thoughts on the feature itself:
- Could the color of the highlight be the same as the node socket color? I think that would look nicer. Not sure how it would deal with white sockets, but I don't think there are any.
- What about having the link highlight be drawn when hovering with the mouse over the socket? It would give me a little more confidence picking links from the multi-socket. I also think the link highlight could then be extended to normal sockets. Most items in blenders UI (buttons, sliders, drop-downs, ... ) are highlighted once you hover the mouse over them to indicate they are interactable. Might be nice to extend that to the node sockets, but I guess that is outside the scope of this patch.
