There are two implementations:
- "Link to Viewer Node"
-- when clicking on a socket directly, link from that socket [done by
first selecting and then taking that selection state into account]
-- otherwise cycles through available sockets
- "Connect to Output" [python operator, made core from Node Wrangler]
-- does not take socket selection into account
-- only cycles through available sockets
So goal is to replicate behavior of "Link to Viewer Node" in "Connect to
Output" in terms of "which socket to link from"
This is done by
- exposing a sockets select state to python
- tweaking the call to bpy.ops.node.select so it does socket selection
as well
- take that selection into account
