[Feature] Named Label Support and Connection Removal

[aldveylor]

In Create, when hovering the mouse cursor over a Factory Gauge, the name of the item in its recipe is displayed, providing information about the crafting recipe. Additionally, in the GUI, clicking an item in the recipe grid removes the connection line from the source Factory Gauge to the current Factory Gauge.

However, in this mod, when placing gauges such as Logic Gauges, Comparator Gauges, Expression Gauges, etc., there is no tooltip or identifying information displayed, and it is also impossible to view connected gauges from the GUI.

I would like to suggest adding the ability to name gauges through the GUI (similar to Package Frogports), treating them like variables. Variables should have names, just as Factory Gauges use the target recipe item name. When hovering over a gauge, its name and additional information (for example, the operation type of a Logic Gauge, such as "AND") should be displayed.

In the GUI, the connected input gauges should also be listed by name, and clicking a name should remove the input connection from that gauge to the target gauge.

Most gauges do not need a variable name, and gauges like expression and comparator already sort all the inputs.

You can hold a wrench on the physical connection that links two gauges and left click break it

Actually, I raised this issue because the instrumentation system is too unintuitive and difficult to control. Here is an example:

My goal is to create a simple aeronautical airship flight controller, which requires three data selectors. The selector signal comes from a navigation-enable switch, and the outputs are three engines.

A simple data selector logic would be:
L = SA + (~S)B

This requires one NOT gate, two AND gates, and one OR gate instrument. If analog signals are being transmitted, then two integer instruments are additionally required (either outputting two separate lines, or adding another integer instrument at the output).

There are also peripheral circuits involved, such as comparing the navigation target distance with a configured distance, analog input/output requiring Rose Quartz Ports, and so on.

As you can see, the number of instruments grows explosively, and many logic components are interconnected. This leads to extremely messy wiring. A single wire in front of you may contain multiple overlapping connections (and additionally, it seems impossible to interact with these wires on a moving contraption in Sable). Variable management also becomes confusing: by only looking at the logic names, you cannot tell which instruments are providing the inputs or receiving the outputs, making debugging very difficult.

Factory Gauges do not suffer from these problems, because their icons are immediately recognizable, crafted items themselves act as identifiers, and the GUI also allows removing connections from specific instruments.

Of course, I have already implemented the above functionality (and even more complex systems) using the CC:Tweaked mod together with a mod modified by myself.

If this issue could be accepted, it would greatly improve support for complex logic systems. Users would no longer be stuck with hard-to-distinguish variable names like a, b, and c.
