copy/move all connections to existing shape?
 

Hello,
Is there a way to copy/move multiple connections to an already existing shape? i know clicking +various modifiers will create a shape with some of the appropriate connections,

But if a shape already exists and i just want to move or copy multiple connections, i can't seem to do it. I have read the manual and searched the forums, and hope i haven't missed something super-obvious
Any ideas?
Many thanks,
Phil
