Not a bad analogy at all! In fact, looked at from a certain perspective, the linking is a good part of what "bel canto" is all about. If you nail the various sorts of linkages, then the tops come easily!

Then there are the glissades that have changes of feet. A glissade dessous (under) starts with the front foot and then it ends up in back. A glissade dessus (over) starts with the back foot and then it ends up in front. This dessous/dessus business goes on a lot. I use a mnemonic to differentiate them. I can remember that a sous-chef is an assistant, or under-chef, and "sur le table" means "on (top of) the table".
