Such an innocent-sounding problem, but I've drawn tons of figures in inkscape, tikz and matplotlib and I swear, I'd never stop fidgeting with curved arrows if time was immaterial.

But of course, I have Opinions that would keep me from using this in practice. For example, my favorite style is similar to a half curly-bracket (or, taste depending, an integral symbol) -- two small semicircles connected by an axis-aligned line.

Edit: oh, and question from the peanut gallery... what if one box is fully within the other, and centered?

Good. Then fork the library and modify it to your liking, optionally republish.

This implies containment/stacking and wouldn't require an arrow. However, you could do worse than drawing 4 arrows from the edges of the surrounding rectangle.
