Feature request : let me add a custom label to each link, instead of the link type

[RupertBarrow]

In TheBrain, I can have a library of link types; in my case "partner", "manager", etc.

When I create a "manager" link, I can customise its label with a different value. In some cases, the manager is a "President", in others a "CEO", etc.

I would like to be able to overload an instance of a link in a given document with a custom label in Excalibrain.
It could be achieved with a syntax such as "Parent::[doc]".

This would display "label" on the link in the drawing.

I would also need a more detailed setting to choose :

• display or hide the default link type ("manager")
• instead, display the custom link label ("label")
• give an option to view the link type ("manager") and label ("label") only when I hover over the link : this would be better for heavily loaded graphs with many relations

PS : there are often many friend-related nodes, and links to those could be displayed without their type or label when there are too many (eg more than 10). This could also be a setting.

Here's an example :

The link between John Kerry and Laurent Tapie (left) is labelled "employé".
All other links, especially the siblings, are not labelled : that would overload the graph. But I can hover over them to view their values in the TheBrain sidepane.
