Add links to resources in exported diagram

[GordianDziwis]

It is possible to export the ontology with draw.io to SVG and HTML. It would be nice if the elements in the exported diagram are linked to their resource. For example, that a click on a box representing a class redirect to the resource.

Do you mean to include the svg in a HTML file with the description of the resources? Like the HTML generated by Widoco?

My specific use case is:

1. Create an ontology with chowlk.
2. Export it to ttl with the chowlk converter.
3. Create a html documentation with pylode.
4. Export the ontology in draw.io to svg.
5. Add the svg diagram of the onology to the html documentation generated with pylode.

Now I if the boxes in the diagram have a href reference to the ressource they represent. A click on it would lead to the pylode part in the documentation. Which would be very neat.

Yes. That is handy (actually used it http://fairreviews.linkeddata.es/def/core/index.html) but that has to be done in draw.io right? As it is draw.io who exports the svg.

I suppose you added the links manually, if not disregard the rest.

There is a plugin which adds metadata to an svg export: https://www.diagrams.net/doc/faq/plugins, so it should be possible to write an plugin, which adds an href to each element on svg export.

Another possiblilty would be to post-process the svg and add the links there.

Then is this a requirement for a new plugin for driagrams.net? I can't see it as part of Chowlk as chowlk exports RDF.

[GordianDziwis]

Yes, this would be a new plugin for diagrams.net.
