One storming ton of Feruchemical Connection questions, please

[Trusk'our he/him]

Yeah, I’m not sure how my brain managed to spawn this many questions about one subject within such a short time, but I’ll just put them in one post, so as to keep them a bit more together.

What are some possible applications for Feruchemical Connection? We know that if you fill your metalmind, you automatically Connect to the land you are currently in, allowing you to speak the language of the natives. But could you do the reverse, like what Dalinar does with Connection, and tap a large amount in order to forge a Connection with someone, granting you an understanding of their language?

Can you forge a Connection with one person, then forge a Connection with another person, and act as a bridge between the two?

Could a strong Connection between people be used to perform telepathy, similar to how a radiant and their spren can use telepath with one another? We also know that you can control hemalurgic constructs using feruchemical Connection, so could you forge useful bonds with other entities, such as spren? Since spren normally are the ones who would make such a bond, thus giving them control over it, would you instead have control over the bond? After you made such a Connection with a spren, could you store the abilities in nicrosil metalmind so that you wouldn’t need the spren any longer? Would these forged Connections disappear immediately after you stopped tapping the metalmind, or like with Dalinar’s Connections or an allomancer’s domination of hemalurgic constructs, would they persist for a period of time? If not, could you create a strong Connection, then hemalurgically remove it and more or less permanently grant that Connection to yourself or someone else?

If you tap feruchemical Connection, is it a passive ability with witch you have little control, it merely being an enhancement like when an allomancer burns pewter, or can you control it a little, like allomantic steel and how even when you burn it you don’t just automatically push on nearby metals.

Can you store specific Connections to certain things, like how you can store specific senses or memories, or is it just a general storage of all your Connection?

If you were to make a strong enough Connection to one of your other metalminds, could you tap it without needing to touch it?

Unfortunately we still don't know much about it. All we really know is that Tapping it can make people like you more, that it's possible to store "blank" Connection, that you can connect to the land you are in to speak the language of it, that if an Elantrian could Tap Connection then they would be able to use AonDor in another land, and that if you Compound enough Connection you can take over Kolos like powerful Zinc and Brass Allomancy can.

Personally, I believe that it would also be possible for a Twinborn who had F-Duralumin to also Store then Tap their Connection to Preservation to boost the potency of their Allomantic metal. No real proof for that, but to me it seems that it should be logically possible as F-Duralumin has proven to be flexible to some degree and the strength of an Allomancer's power is directly tied to how strong their Connection to Preservation is.

Came up with yet another question/idea  

Could a Connector ferring or a bond-smith take an object that had great emotional value to a person and then use the Connection of that object to Connect themselves to that person? They'd almost be like a kind of 'Scadrian psychic', only with actual powers.
