Feature Request: multiple snapping points

Migrated from: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1799034 (edit: oops)

Steps to reproduce:

  • Open snapping.svg in Inkscape
  • Make all snapping options on (or some snapping options if desired)
  • Try to align the red ellipse with the two points where the green and blue circle intersect.
  • Try to align the red ellipse to the points where the guides intersect

What happened?

Snapping is limited. Not any part of the red ellipse could snap and only one node could snap to another.

Original report

Wanted to snap the red circle to snap to the center of the triangle (point of all the intersections) and the point of intersection between the red segment and green segment. I've tried to approximate where they wanted it to be, but it does not snap there.

What should have happened?

Allows multiple points of snapping, so the red circle only intersected with the other circles twice.

Note: This sounds hard to implement 😛
