Is there a way to wire a source node to multiple other nodes without constantly dragging between source and target?

I want to start dragging a wire from the source node, hold a key, and then click on multiple target nodes, drawing a line from source to each target. Is this possible? I assume this is what the Wire Node To Multiple keybinding should do, but god only knows what that's supposed to do. There is literally 1 result (Github, of course) on Google if you search for it exactly, so it's not documented anywhere. I assume it's what I'm looking for, but I have no idea how to use it.

Does anyone know if this is possible, and if so, how?

Yes.

That makes a lot of sense now, thanks. These videos should absolutely be part of the page you linked. For something where wires are such a big part of, the documentation about them is very sparse.
