[OR] CR - Add a tool Line Between Elements or allow us to tangent snap

$

I have a situation where I want a line to be tangent to a curve (element 1) and intersect with another line (element 2) at a 4-degree deflection. 

The first likely solution is to do a Line To Element, but I see that I can't do a tangent snap with that tool.

I guess the workaround is the following:

  1. Construct a line (element A) from element (element 2) at the desired deflection.
  2. Construct a line (element B) perpendicular to element A to the center of the curve (element 1).
  3. Find the intersection of element B with element 1, and that's where the tangent begins.

This would be more complicated if I was attempting to construct a line that is intended to be a 4-degree deflection on both ends.
