Exception flow

Would be great to have a possibility to setup a flow as an exception handler.
Don't need to be much complicated - just be able to call one predetermined flow every time when your "main" flow fails with error would be awesome!

I would rather have a special "action" within a flow which catches all exceptions. Otherwise I would have to draw an exception line from each action or condition which might fail.

The current exception-handling connection usually works quite well in the cases I encountered so far (select a connection, press Edit, change type to Exception).
I like the proposal of kintrupf since one could also use an action Execute Flows: Generic Exception Handler Flow to get the original proposal of ZSasha almost for free.
I will add this to the todo-list, but no ETA as usual :)

If you manage to actually select the right connection ;)
Sometimes I have to zoom in a lot or move the actions/conditions around to get access to a particular connection.
It would be great to have some mechanism to select the connections of a particular action or connection one after another.
