Connection objects are sorted into Folders for logical ordering, but some times a server (connection) would be nice to show in different Folders, fx. because a database-server is used as backend for different applications, that alle have their own Folders in the tree.
You don't want to duplicate the Connection object, because then you have to manage more connections.
Instead I propose the ability to create Connection Links or Connection Point, that is essential a link to another Connection object in the tree, fx signified with a different icon.
You can perform the same actions on the Connection Link as you can on the Connection object + you can rightclick and "Jump" to the original Connection object in the tree.
If you delete a Connection object you should be asked if you want to remove all the connected links, select another Connection object to use as "master" for the links, or to convert the connected links to "real" connection objects.
