Is it possible to set and edit multiple line endings with polygon line tool?
So we could do stuff like this with just one polygon line comment:
Right now I could only get to edit two line endings.
I think it would be very useful for when you want to point to 3 or mores things using only one polygon line comment.
Thank you for the support!

Without prejudice to Tracker Team's answer, I think that this is probably not possible due to the official PDF specification.
However, if you enable snapping, this can be done rather easily with 2 or 3 separate lines.

Hi,
Perhaps you may convert the current drawing to multiple lines and add arrows but the time this will take will be pretty much the same as to draw separate lines:

HI, guys!
Thank you for the suggestions!
I understand this is possible using more than one line. But using those will make more than one comment too.
What I was proposing was to use this with just one comment having multiple endings. It would be useful when you want to make just one comment inside the polygon line regarding to more than two objects in the pdf.
I know this can be done using the draw tool (if you are fast enough). But the polygon line tool is much better for mouse use.

Re: Polygon line tool with "multiple line endings"
The Pencil Tool by definition allows multiple segments in a single annotation, not so the other types.
So I am afraid that after discussing this with the development team, leader there is not about to be a change here.
sorry to be the bringer of bad news.

Oh, that's unfortunate.
But thank you for speaking to the development team about it!
