Assigning Link to Diagram to connectors

Question

The ability to link objects in LeanIX diagrams to other diagrams is a powerful feature that supports the creation of complex drill-down illustrations.

At present, a shape can be linked either to a fact sheet or to a diagram, but a connector can only be linked to a fact sheet. This limitation seems unnecessary.

Since connectors often represent interfaces, which can be complex and may require their own graphical representation, enabling connectors to link to other diagrams would make it possible to illustrate these interfaces much more effectively.

While not a dedicated feature, in a freeform diagram you can add a hyperlink to a connector, which can then reference another diagram.

Right-click the connector and select Edit Link…, or select the connector representing the interface and choose Edit > Edit Link… in the Style panel. It is a brute-force approach, but it may serve your purpose until the feature is supported natively.
