I think Paul mis-understood your question.
Connectors cannot jump shapes, but they can route around them.
Firstly, the connector has to be the routable type, and, secondly, the shape
has to have its placement behavior, Lay out and route around.

You are quite right, David. I was so fixated on the line jump aspect.
So, select the shape(s),
menu Format - Behavior - Placement
and select "Layout and route around"
