If one Point of the tunnel-connection is selected - you can see the connection line as a dashed line.

But if you want to change the view to the other side of the tunnel, you have to navigate by your own.

That's not fine for big workspaces. So a possibility to jump to the oher tunnelpoint in the view would be a nice feature :-)

That's a great idea.

A little update.

It’s possible to jump between the beginning and the end of the tunnel, just by clicking on the name of the transformer/junction after clinking on the tunnel (version 2024).

You can use the <Arrow Right> and <Arrow Left> keys on your keyboard to move through the tunnel, and to follow any connection.

In 25.2 onward, we have added a ‘Pan’ upstream or downstream menu option, available when you right click on an object on canvas. This lists the next objects (yes, plural), upstream or downstream, so you can select the specific one to navigate to. Tunnels are just one of the objects supported, but you will see by name (i.e. Transformer1) any connected objects.
