A rendition of this idea can be seen in the Halo TV adaptation. I can’t remember which episode(s) or find a good YouTube link right now. But there’s a settlement in an asteroid belt where the people move around on cars attached to rails/tethers between the asteroids.

These are rotating tethers used to launch to other asteroids/planets. Not strings connecting rocks.
