It’s been a while since I’ve made a PCB so I can’t remember what Horizon / Designspark PCB do, but this is a solved problem.
When do you push the net and when do you merge the net? Does dragging a net label connected to a net to intentionally attach it to a second net to connect the two not work due to pushing?
You merge nets when the user explicitly connects them (i.e. they are drawing a net and they click on another net).
I like how Simulink does this best - they fade wires when they cross without connecting - looks nice and makes connections obvious.
