Notes:
- Generally, a connector can be added if its source is unlocked - you are modifying what the source can see
- The exception is Composition connectors, where the target (the parent) must be unlocked - you are modifying the parent by adding children
- Connectors with locked source or target elements are also locked; to unlock the connector, you must unlock the source and/or target element
