They do not always exist (I believe the Sorgenfrey line does not have one, e.g.), and if they exist they are not very well-behaved. $\mathbb{Q}_p$ is homeomorphic to the irrationals (purely topologically), so I suppose the normal reals are, purely topologically, a connectification. But this does not really reflect the field structure of the p-adic numbers....

This might be a relevant paper
