It might be doable.  Look at the Layers dialog, and notice the icon next
to the eye icon (kinda a connection thingy).  If you toggle that icon
for another layer than the one you've selected, you can connect to other
layers.  Sounds like what you're asking for.  There isn't yet a way to
move objects between layers without losing connections, but I'm working
on that for 0.97.
