Master - slave elements are super useful for splitting one part into multiple logical elements. This makes schematic much more readable.
My issue is, QET always assumes the slave is a switch. And draws appropriate switch symbol next to the slave link(see pic.). I would like to use the master-slave elements for other parts as well. My specific use-case has power meters with digital outputs. It makes sense to separate the low voltage digital part into second sheet.

There is demand for this among the community. I am not the first one to stumble upon this issue.

This PR adds Other option into the slave switch state selection. If you select this option, and your Cross reference->XRef slave position is set to View contacts, QET will only draw the XRef without contact type. This change doesn't make sense for cross style of contacts. In that case, no link will be shown.

This option alows for displaying XRef without contact drawing.
This is useful for spliting one physical part into multiple
logical elements when the slave element is not a switch.
