In architectural drawings, at least in Germany/Europe, it is not usual for the extension lines to get near to the meant point, but as shown in the image for example, to stay outside of the floorplan and all in the row to have the same length. People in the business will in most cases understand which points are meant.
In commercial architecture-cad programs you can draw a multi-point dimensionline in one stroke by selecting the according points one after the other. You have to tell the selection to be finished by an "enter" command or something like that. It then is one object. Also this way you do not need extra procedures for two-point and multipoint dimension lines.
May be some day we will have these features in librecad.
