v1.0
Pops up a menu of shader presets to let the user select one, then instantiates
this shader and connects it to the specified connection points of another
shader through intermediate Mix 2 Colors shaders.
Note: The command fails if the selected shader cannot be connected to the
connection points because of connection type mismatch or because shaders
are already connected to it.
