Bug Description
## Feature Request
Currently, it is easy to do bus -> wire using "unfold from bus", which automatically creates the bus connection and the continuing wire with the correct label attached.
I would like to propose to have this ability for the reverse direction as well: When a user places a wire where the end-point touches a bus, a "bus input" element is displayed, and when finishing the action, a menu appears where the user can select the bus entry. This could also be implemented for "bus -> wire", so users do not need to enter the context menu to start the connection. This should vastly improve the workflow because users can connect wire -> bus without changing between multiple tools (place wire, place bus input, place and set label).
When this is done, the "bus input" element would no longer be required to be manually placed by a user and could be removed from the toolbar as well.
