Connector multiple selection

[build 731]
Allowing connectors to be multiply selected would allow you to set a stereotype (or other property) on many connectors at the same time.

Currently you have to set each one individually.

It would also open up the possibility for alignment commands.

20 years later, this request still makes sense.
Have a way to select multiple connectors from a diagram to align, apply the same color, hide, etc. would save a lot of time.

Example: working on a BPMN2 diagram, it can take a lot of time to align connectors from multiple activities to a target gateway ; having an alignment feature would be great.

I've recently become a user of Enterprise Architect again after several years away and this was the first pain point I ran into when trying to change the line style of my connectors.

I found a work around for my (Data Model) case:
 - Select all diagram elements (Ctrl + a)
 - Open the "Relationships" window
 - Multi-select the relationships / connectors that you want
 - Right click - change line style

That problem is mostly solved by the "apply line style on diagram" option, and without needing to open yet another property window and applying this quirky workaround.

But the fact remains, it would be very helpful if we could multiselect connectors on a diagram.
