MATLAB: Simulink connection without drawing lines

Question

Hello,

Is there a way to connect two nodes in a Simulink diagram without drawing the lines (such as using ports or something like that)? I'm trying to simulate a relatively complex electric circuit in Simulink and if I try to draw all the lines, there's going to be a lot of lines overlapping each other. The circuit would be much cleaner to view if I could connect through ports at a few places instead.

Thank you, Kevin

The simplest solution is to use Goto and From tags in Simulink. You can refer to the documentation in the following link to understand the usage of Goto and From tags:

The other solution is to use data store memory and then read and write to the corresponding blocks instead of connecting them physically. However, this second solution will involve some physical connections, although less than before.
