Tool tip in html
I used SVG to define the line.
I am sorry it is not in jQuery.

// This is demo code - obviously it could be refined
let tooltip = document.getElementById("tooltip");
document.addEventListener("dragstart", function(event) {
// store a ref. on the tooltip elem
tooltip = event.target;
// make it half transparent
event.target.style.opacity = .5;
let style = window.getComputedStyle(event.target, null);
event.dataTransfer.setData("text/plain",
(parseInt(style.getPropertyValue("left"), 10) - event.clientX) + ',' + (parseInt(style.getPropertyValue("top"), 10) - event.clientY));
}, false);
document.addEventListener("dragend", function(event) {
// reset the transparency
event.target.style.opacity = "";
}, false);
/* events fired on the drop targets */
document.addEventListener("dragover", function(event) {
// prevent default to allow drop
event.preventDefault();
}, false);
document.addEventListener("drop", function(event) {
// prevent default action (open as link for some elements)
event.preventDefault();
let offset = event.dataTransfer.getData("text/plain").split(',');
tooltip.style.left = (event.clientX + parseInt(offset[0], 10)) + 'px';
tooltip.style.top = (event.clientY + parseInt(offset[1], 10)) + 'px';
drawLine(tooltip);
}, false);
let clientRect = document.getElementById("anchor").getBoundingClientRect();
let line = document.getElementById("line");
let points = line.points;
let first = points.getItem(0);
first.x = clientRect.x + clientRect.width / 2;
first.y = clientRect.y + clientRect.height / 2;
drawLine(tooltip);
function drawLine(endElement) {
let clientRect = endElement.getBoundingClientRect();
let line = document.getElementById("line");
let points = line.points;
let last = points.getItem(2);
last.x = clientRect.x + clientRect.width / 2;
last.y = clientRect.y + clientRect.height / 2;
let length = Math.sqrt(Math.pow(first.x - last.x, 2) + Math.pow(first.y - last.y, 2));
let middle = points.getItem(1);
if (first.x > last.x) length = -length;
middle.x = first.x + length / 2;
middle.y = (first.y > last.y) ? last.y : first.y;

If the segment 2 shouldn't be responsive you can just use a :before
element and adjust the offset left of the segment 1:
const $b1 = $("#box1");
const $b2 = $("#box2");
const $line = $("#line");
const coordinates = function() {
const x1 = $b1.offset().left;
const y1 = $b1.offset().top + $b1.height() / 2;
const x2 = $b2.offset().left + $b1.width() / 2;
const y2 = $b2.offset().top + $b1.height() / 2;
moveLine(x1, y1, x2, y2);
}
coordinates();
function moveLine(x1, y1, x2, y2) {
var length = Math.sqrt(((x1 - x2) * (x1 - x2)) + ((y1 - y2) * (y1 - y2)));
var angle = Math.atan2(y2 - y1, x2 - x1) * 180 / Math.PI;
var transform = 'rotate(' + angle + 'deg)';
offsetX = (x1 > x2) ? x2 : x1;
offsetY = (y1 > y2) ? y2 : y1;
$line.css({
'position': 'absolute',
'-webkit-transform': transform,
'-moz-transform': transform,
'transform': transform
})
.width(length)
.offset({
left: offsetX - 20, // remove segment 2's width
top: offsetY
});
}
$('#box1').draggable({
drag: coordinates
});
