Multiple similar interactions
How should we display multiple similar interactions in such a way that it looks nice while the interactions are correctly represented? An example is in the Smooth Muscle Contraction pathway:
You see that the interactions to the GNAS protein are grouped by an arc. However, if we just link the lines to the arc, like this:
Then the interactions will not be recognized properly (since there is an interaction with the arc, not with GNAS).
Alternatively, we could explicitely draw each interaction seperately, but as you can see below, this doesn't look nice:
Any ideas on how to solve this?

Can we have each of the separate lines from the receptors link to a connector hub? I'm not sure if this edge connector type exists, but I've seen it illustrated at:
http://www.wikipathways.org/index.php/Pathway:Rattus_norvegicus:Catecholamine_synthesis
This would seem to solve the problem if you can have multiple lines merge into a single line and have anchor points on that line, so that an inhibition edge hits that. I was able to make this in WP, but just to an anchor so it's not a valid hub. I can take or leave the brackets if something like this works.
