Subj, it is sometimes necessary to have such feature for convenient work.
E.g., it is necessary to “align” (snap) one shape with custom glue points on it to other custom shape.
Thank you in advance!

Sorry, it’s not clear for me. I would like to connect one shape to another by glue points on shapes without using any connectors.
Please attach a sample file. It will be easier to experiment on your specific case than to try with an arbitrary drawing.
A snap from glue point to glue point does not exist. But LibreOffice has a lot of snap and align options.
- The see all snap options and enable/disable them, open the toolbar “Options” or use menu View > Snap Guides. While learning to use snap guides in LibreOffice it might be useful to set the snap range in Tools > Options > Draw > Grid to 15px or 25px.
- To align a set of shapes relative to each other and to page margins use the drop-down list “Align Objects”.
- Furthermore you can use snap lines and points to position the shape. You can drag a snap line from the ruler. Or use menu Insert > Snap Guide.
- To get more precision in shape position you can use the ‘Position&Size’ dialog or you temporarily use zoom 3000% (in Draw).

Ooo, thank you for exhaustive answer!
In my case, snap to “snap line” would be answer, but small question: will glue point on shape snap to “snap line”?
Thank you for help!
Glue points snap to snap lines and snap points while editing the glue point. But when you have left the edit mode, there exists no snapping that considers glue points.
