I've been having some problems with self edges overlapping the rest of the graph and wanted to be able to be able to rotate them instead of putting them in the top right quadrant.

Describe the solution you'd like
Add a linkCurveRotation that accepts a number (in radians), a string, or a function, similar to linkCurvature. This property would allow each link’s curvature axis to be rotated independently, so self-links can be displayed at different angles, reducing visual overlap and improving readability.
I have a demo here trying this out: https://github.com/Geoc2022/force-graph/blob/master/example/curved-links-with-rotation/index.html
Describe alternatives you've considered
I'm not sure there are good alternatives other than changing linkCurvature for overlapping links.
Additional context
I've created a fork here: https://github.com/Geoc2022/force-graph and a PR (#397)
Example of the demo:
