Description:
A friend, new LO user pointed to me that Writer doesn't have a way to insert a connector to create flowcharts or other graphical representation that requires this function.

In my particular case, I usually use LO Draw to do any kind of diagram and then import it into LO Writer, however, having different workflows is important for casual users for different reasons.

• Writer introduces basic drawing tools, including shapes for flowcharts. This is incomplete without adding connectors [1]
• Other popular word processors include connectors
• Casual users only use a word processor for this work
• A casual user may not install LO Draw

I really don't know if this is a design decision, but in spite of not being directly affected, it can be seen as a bug to use another application in the same office suit (Impress or Draw) to only add connectors to drawing objects.

[1] An alternative workflow can be seen in GDrive, since in order to insert any type of drawing, a new window opens with Google Draw instead of offering drawing tools in its corresponding Word Processor.
