By default, connections end in the center of nodes but each edge can end at a different location which can be placed freely in the diagram, even outside of node symbols. It is easily possible to change this 'port locations' as we call it: selecting the desired edge makes two black squares visible. These are the port location indicators which you can drag to any other position.
If edges are selected, it is also possible to change these locations in the Ports section of the Properties View dock panel.
While creating new edges, you can keep the Shift key pressed to make edges start and end at the current node cursor location.
Since the port location is a setting of the edges and not of the nodes, it's currently not possible to store custom port locations for the symbols in the palette.
