Add Ability to Open Active Subprocess in SVG API

BAMOE 8.0.5 and older versions - 

When a root process is instantiated that contains re-usable sub-process, and when the re-usable subprocess is active, the + icon on subprocess becomes clickable. When clicked, it launches another rest endpoint with subprocess instanceid image. 

 

BAMOE 9.3.1 

When the re-usable sub-process is activated, we do not get click option on + icon, and as a result we are unable to view child process image. The challenge is that every time user wants to check the subprocess image, they need to query the DB tables to find the child process and then launch separate image endpoint which involves manual effort. Most of the users does not have access to DB that makes it hard for them to find child process instance id.

 

Request:

In v9, when using the api below it should have the ability to open active re-usable sub-processes in a new tab.
