Someone else asked something similiar but basically, how does / should this work when candidate drop targets are many e.g. when dragging a first or second rectangle onto a page in Figma when no relationships have obviously been set.

not 100% sure this is what you're asking but for continuous degrees of freedom i.e. numeric model parameters we have the 'vary' operator, which is used in all our canvas-type examples. more in the paper (section 5 under the numerical optimization header). in the trivial case this allows for unconstrained positioning
