Yes, and it has been discussed [before](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/announce-node-red-contrib-sub-link/43157/20), in different contexts. If you follow the links from the discussion linked above, you'll see how the suggestion has been received. The "philosophical" objection raised by @dceejay is fundamental, and @knolleary is pointing to a lot of practical issues that can come up in understanding flows and troubleshooting them when message flow can become invisible and virtually untraceable.
