Consider supporting xref like syntax in diagrams, translated to diagram specific syntax

[kaja-mohideen]

Useful feature. Any update whether this proposal would make it in some future release?

I gave it a lot of thought but I think it should be done in a dedicated extension. Using a tree processor will give you the diagram type. You can also use a non-conflicting syntax (depending on the diagram syntax) to declare a cross-reference.

For instance, PlantUML is using [[https://antora.org]], we could use a special protocol to indicate that this is a cross-reference: [[antoraxref://2.3@antora:ROOT:how-antora-works.adoc]]. The tree processor will read/parse the content and replace antoraxref://2.3@antora:ROOT:how-antora-works.adoc with an actual HTTP(s) URL.
