Be able to add or remove stages on a link in DataStage Designer

Currently when you want to add a new stage on an existing link, you have to deconnect the link from one of its stage, add the new stage and create a new link from that stage (remapping the Input columns to the Output, which is currently not possible e.g. in the modify stage), on the other Hand if removing (in both cases e.g. a peek stage which you have added temporarley for Debugging, or something like a modify stage) a stage you have to remove the stage, delete one of the links and reattach the remaining link to the stage.

I want to be able to drop a new stage on a link and have the link split in two, making the stage the target for the first half and source for the second half (including an automap of the Input to the Output columns), also I want to be able to do a right click on the stage to e.g. "delete fusing links" (like the current "delete including links"), removing the Stage, keeping the linkname of the output link and column definition of the inputlink.

This maybe will not work for all kind of stages and every situation (like removing a Transformer with serveral outputs), but will be very handy for amending allready finished Jobs (adding that extra Transformer, Lookup or Modify) or the typical debugging Peek stage and add to the Overall userexperience and ease of work with the DataStage designer.
