Description Flags
Visual connector can distinguish between nodes of different kinds none

Description divgupta 2020-05-06 13:01:43 UTC 
Description of problem:
The visual connector creates a `connects-to` annotation whose value is a comma separated or JSON array list of `app.kubernetes.io/instance` strings for matching to their target. The problem is that the `instance` is just a name and is not unique amongst resources.

The value of the annotation needs to be able to uniquely identify different resources by kind and name.

How reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create different kinds of resources(that are shown in topology) with same name in a project.
2. Try to connect a node with a node whose name is same as some other nodes.
3. Connection is made to other node with the same name as target node.

Actual results:
Connection is made to other node with the same name as target node.

Expected results:
Connection should be made to the target node.
