Dalai Felinto shows the process of hacking the node link draw system to find a way to do dashed lines. This is part of the Geometry Nodes project, and the outcome of the video is a prototype to be finalized as a patch later.

– The task is: https://developer.blender.org/T91563
– The initial patch with the diamond draw is: https://developer.blender.org/D12584
– Data Flow and Function Flow explained: https://code.blender.org/2021/08/attributes-and-fields/
– The final patch is: https://developer.blender.org/D12602
