TL;DR

allow linked chests to connect to the circuit network like normal chests.

What ?

allow linked chests to connect to the circuit network

be able to read chest contents like with normal chests

would also be nice to be able to set the link string that determines what link network the chest is on

mostly just want to read chest contents though

Why ?

same reason as normal chests link to the circuit network

I found the issue when trying to make the an inserters keep 1 stack each of a couple item in the linked chest

another example would to increse storage
if iron > 1000 then pull iron from the linked chest into disconnected storage.
if iron < 500 put iron back into the linked chest

the 2nd feature would allow a single station to connect to more then one linked chest network.
