[OpenLayers-Users] Increase usability when vectors are very close

Hi list,

i'm facing with vectors that are very (very, very) close or even with same coordenates. 

I have see the Cluster strategy, but that's not what i'm looking for.

I
 would like that if two vectors graphics overlap, they (or one of them) moves so it does not overlap, but in addition the displaced vectors 
must have a representation of the real location linked to the vector 
graphic.

Think of really close items (even less than a meter 
away), and at a level of zoom (or even at every level of zoom) their 
graphic representations overlap each other. The goal is too present the 
users with a litle icon (or even with out it) in the vectors location 
that it's ok if they overlap (real location), the actual vectors graphic is
 displaced so they don't overlap (draw location), and a line linking the
 'real
 location' and the 'draw location'.

The approach is similar to what 'Google earth' does when two marks are very close and you click over them.

Any idea or suggestion wich is the easiest way to achieve this?

Best Regards.
Javier Monge.
