["Miguel Pazza" <miguel.pazza@xxxxxxxxx>]

All you have to do is probbably to enhance the EditPolicy for your target to 
return appropriate command which will at least be standard 
ConnectionCreateCommand redirected from the actual target to the port. Or 
you can return a composite command which will firstly create a port and then 
ends the created connection on it if the port does not already exists.
