Hi @jmgor
Your request is very similar to these others
As far as I’m aware there is not yet an implementation of it but definitely, it would be really nice to be able to use an “Alias” node which at the same component (or workflow) imbrication level it allows to connect very distant nodes without having to populate the workflow with connections going between long distances, or without having to save and/or read the tables again at the distant places.
Sometimes my workflows look like the photo below (me on the photo working on the workflow 
)
I would be grateful to have a kind of KNIME “5G” or “WIFI” (node alias) for some of my long connections too lol 
Thanks @jmgor for bringing back this suggestion for improvement to the KNIME forum 
!
Best
Ael
