The connections are available on the object level, getting the one matching 
a specific attribute is possible already, although more difficult than your 
approach. See attached pydia sample.

The patch looks basically right on the implementation level to me. But I 
didn't apply it yet. Bad things would of course happen, if the 
connectionpoint property would be set. But you rightly do not implement that.

But on the design level I wonder if the extra convenience your patch offers 
really justifies all the extra complexity.
