We are working on projects that are basically all open paths. However, we run into the following situation a lot:

If we change the shape of one curve, all other paths that had "intersected" are now off. Is there someway to keep an anchor point "snapped" to a curve? (Similar to connectors in OmniGraffle, etc.)

Or is there an easy way to detect where these have occurred in the document? "Join" doesn't work because they are not two anchor points.

Thanks.

Prevent, detect, connect, or align -- Nope

Trim -- Yes.

Extend the paths beyond the curve.
Select the paths and the curve
Grab the Shape Builder Tool
Hold down the Option/Alt key
Drag across the extended paths.

There's no way to prevent or detect misalignment on a curve that I'm aware of. And there's absolutely no way to "connect" a path to the middle of another path.
