Description
Hello, would be great to include the possibility to specify different sections of the "source" internal nodes like dendrites as opposed to axons, like you do for the target_sections to establish connectivity rules. This will allow for dendrodendritic synapses.

Research direction
Start by locating the connectivity-rule handling for target_sections and trace how source internal nodes are represented. Confirm how source sections are currently selected, then define completion as allowing source sections such as dendrites to be specified and used for dendrodendritic connectivity. No file or test path is named in the issue, so repository exploration is required.
