How do Interface Builder and Quartz Composer draw the blue line connections
from object to object?
I have been looking through the APIs, but I can't find anything that looks
right.

I can't say how either app is written..

if you're drawing in a custom view between visual items that you control you can do it all yourself.



I thought of just drawing my own line on a custom view (shouldn't be that hard), but interface builder manages to do it between objects that aren't
connected by ANY view, and I am not sure how to do that.


You'd need to use an overlay window that is transparent and ignores clicks. There is an example of this technique on developer.apple.com.


I am trying to build an HTML GUI editor.

Please, please an XML GUI editor. :-) Then the HTML version can be done via an XML schema, and users needing an XML editor will be all good.
