Path Sankey / Feature request, allow ”missing” node

In the current Sankey chart you have the option to group values missing a certain node into a “null” node. By doing this the end users might think that all these values originates from the same node (In the example below Node 2).

I would like to have the ability to be able to select “Skip Missing node” allowing the bands to stretch from Node 1 directly to node 3 in the example below. This would allow developers to either group “null” values as a “null” node or to give the ability to show a direct line straight from Node 1 to Node 3.

Example of use case:
 Ex, when looking at cases in a help desk, various case types might have various amounts of nodes/steps. By allowing “skipping” a node the users analyzing data would see a more accurate representation of the data.
