The concept is pretty simple: you take two nodes, you have them "stick" together (think snapping), and when you move the other node directly or indirectly (moving the whole object), the other node stuck to it moves along.
I like this very much. Although you mentioned it in the context of animation, I believe something like this could be very favorable for tech drawing, too (unfortunately it is probably beyond the scope of GSoC).
This and a couple of other recent proposals make me think that in the future we really should be able to access individual nodes in a path. Bulia and Bob commented on my recent post on this topic (from 2008-05-21), but perhaps other people have further suggestions how this could best be implemented? I'm certain that it would open up a whole new world of possibilities, of which Valerie's proposal above is only one facet.
