The idiom "we'll cross that bridge when we come to it" typically means:
1. We are not going to do that yet: This implies that the person or group is not ready or willing to address a particular issue or problem until it directly affects them. They prefer to deal with situations as they arise rather than worry about potential future problems prematurely.
2. We need to start looking for connections: This is not a common interpretation of the idiom. The primary meaning of the idiom focuses on delaying dealing with an issue until it is necessary, rather than actively seeking connections or solutions preemptively.
