  • Add Element Connections as a Functions module, including the Functions overview and navigation.
  • Move virtual-element connection instructions to the dedicated module page.
  • Clearly distinguish Element Connections from DataMiner Connectivity Framework connections and update related links.

Change was motivated by an issue investigation. User found the current structure confusing.

Use the *Element Connections* module in DataMiner Cube to link parameters in virtual elements to parameters in other elements. This is what makes it possible for a virtual element to combine data from one or more "real" elements. For background information on virtual elements, see [Virtual elements](xref:Virtual_elements).

For the step-by-step procedure to link parameters, see [Configuring virtual elements](xref:Configuring_virtual_elements).

@SkylineThomasCR, I split your original page into two separate pages: About the Element Connections module and Configuring virtual elements. This makes the content easier to find for both users and AI.

Could you provide a good screenshot of the Element Connections module for this page? Once that's been added, the PR will be ready to merge.
