Hi,
If your Math skills are ok, you can use geometry generators to
automatically create such lines.
Direct lines (without a bend) are trivial, lines like the ones you show
in your image are more complicated to create and require some rules
(e.g. until which angles the leader lines should be horizontal or
vertical) and where to bend over the angled portion of the line.
Google for "geometry generators" - there are examples out there how to
use geometry generators.
