Add list/set of nodes to network

[ncatlett]

It would be helpful to be able to add a list of BEL terms/nodes to the network view, from a file or a Set. Ideally, like the "link to knowledge network" function, it would be possible to add all nodes to the network and indicate which did not map.

The "Search Nodes" function allows search of an entity (namespace value) from a file or a string in the dialog window. One option would be to expand this feature to accept a list of BEL terms.

The Pathfind function allows loading of BEL terms from a list, but these can only get added to a network as part of a path of length >= 1. Another option would be to allow addition of 0 length paths.

This can currently be done with a file (an .xlsx file works, not sure about all other formats) by
File -> Import -> Network -> File...
Select the column with the list of nodes as the "Source" column, and Click Yes in the Confirmation dialog window to accept that you are creating a network without edges. Then use KamNav to link to Knowledge Network.
