A tool to find the source node of a wire

[altenbach]

Looking at messy diagram from forum posts (not mine!), I often find myself in a situation that I cannot really tell where an "interesting" wire is coming from. Triple-clicking just shows me a spiderweb of wire segments going in all directions.

Often, the leftmost wire end is near the data source, but not always. Maybe it would help if we could right-click on a wire and do a "find source" and a halo,(or donut or similar) would temporarily appear showing where the data in the wire is originating.

A wire can have many sinks, but only one source and the data source is the most interesting property of a wire.

A tool to find it quickly could be helpful.

This picture is way too ugly, but should give some idea.... 😉

A good idea would probably be for the event stucture not to have tunnels with default values by default, but I wouldn't be surprised if this has already been suggested, probably even by you.
