# JointJS: Hover Link Connect Tool

Need to create links from other links in a drag & drop fashion, but only show the connect tool when a user hovers a link path? When the user hovers an invisible track path on a link, the tool appears at the point where the user moves the mouse.

This demo is also available online at [jointjs.com](https://jointjs.com/demos/hover-link-connect-tool).
