Ya the connection bubbles are gone in source files it seems. I wouldn't be terribly surprised if this was on purpose as a "optimization" / way to clean out source from Xcode to make room for ...er never mind.
You can still connect outlets/actions by just writing the property in your interface:
@property (nonatomic, weak) IBOutlet NSTextField *label;
-(IBAction)methodName:(id)sender
And then making the connection in Interface Builder from the Connections Inspector.
I use to use the Assistant editor and make connections the way you describe all the time back in the day when I was learning UIKit but I do find it faster to just type the property with IBOutlet and then connecting it in the Connections Inspector in IB. A shame not to see those nice little connection bubbles anymore in source files.
I don't care what anyone says about "live previews" or whatever...IB was the thing. It's a shame Apple doesn't make improvements to it anymore but I still find it useful.
