[Qgis-user] connecting line between label and object

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi Otto,

Such leader lines are not yet a core feature of QGIS. It would be very
cool if someone could invest to make this a core feature. The
infrastructure with all the data-defined properties is there already. So
it should not be too hard to add the leader lines.

As Paolo said, there are probably plugins that do this, or python code.
You can also create such leader lines in the database with views, if you
store your data in a database. You could then have the table with the
features you want to label your table (or x/y columns) with the label
positions and you could have a third table (or geometry column) with the
leader lines, that are auto-generated by the database between the
features to label and the labels (minus some offset along the lines to
make the leader lines more pleasing). This is just a workaround though.

It would be much nicer if leader lines would be a core QGIS feature ...
