When selecting a Sequence flow of the Label for the Sequence Flow, highlight the label/sequence

[StephenOTT]

Describe the Problem

When you select a Sequence flow the label should also be highlighted so you can quickly tell which label corresponds to the flow.

When you select a label, the sequence flow it belongs to should be highlighted so easy reference to which sequence the label belongs to.

When you have complex processes with lots of flows, the labels can be mixed up, especially when moving and resizing

Solution Sketch

Show a fine, dashed line when hovering a label that links the label to the labeled element:

Depends on bpmn-io/diagram-js#290

Sounds like a good improvement. Highlighting on mouseover only may be a snappier solution, too.

[StephenOTT]

Yes that would be great. 👍

Discussed a new approach: Showing a dashed line which indicates the reference between label and sequence flow (or any other element?)

I think that would be an amazing option 🚀 🔥
