New to this so mea culpa if I have missed this feature in documentation or examples. What I would like to do is to use the BPMN diagrams as workflows that users can follow to execute repetitive tasks. As part of that, I would like to embed links to URLs/documents relevant to the steps in the workflow. Ideally there would be some decoration on a task indicating it had a live link and clicking on the task would open up the document/URL in a separate tab.
Sounds like a good use-case for using overlays and using the documentation tag of BPMN elements to store your links. You can find an example of using the documentation tag here: https://github.com/bpmn-io/bpmn-js-embedded-comments.
Thanks for your suggestion - I will take a look!
