Autolayout line across components

Hello.

Question of the day. It may be in here, but I’m not searching for the correct terms.

Making an activity feed. I have a mock-up on the left of what I’m trying to make. Each day has a collection of events and I want to be able to group each day’s events with a line connecting behind the icons. Thought maybe the new absolute position would work, but having trouble getting it to work.

The other option I thought of was trying to make a top, middle, and bottom icon that could connect, but then with the variation in line length I still had the same issue.

anyway, stopping for the day, but wanted to ask.

Thanks
Marc

This is not very difficult to do. You can see examples in the Figma Community:
