Aren’t these both instances of “Lego String” just with different terminators?? Another instance would be the hose reel itself and termination at the other end into any of a number of different hooks. Those all terminate with a knotted loop though. That might be a bit harder to suss out.

There are also a large number of parts (basically, anything with a hole in it) that need to be usable as intermediate points where the string is routed through)

As far as this being “larry’s string”... my string was just a way to mock up string for my own use, it’s not very good. I’m certainly willing to share it but you won’t see me stand up and say it’s some awesome piece of work. It does NOT model the three-strandedness of real string, it just is done with a twisted hexagon extrusion....

But I agree, if LSynth could deal with this it wouls be awesome! Especally if it could mimic knots! Maybe doing up a knot as a terminator is the way to go??? I dunno. Rereading the above, it’s a heckofajob!!! but if anyone can do it, Kevin can. The question I think that is worth asking is, though, is it worth doing???? Do people model string a lot in MOCs??? I think yes but I’m biased.
