Make font and line color of linked processes/message events hypertext color (blue: active / purple: visited)

Viewers may not understand the functionalities of Blueworks Live, but keeping with web standards for hypertext links are generally blue/underlined or purple/underlined for visited links.  Changing the fill color defeats the purpose of color-coding for project needs, but users should be aware of linked entities and wouldn't require additional training on using/navigating Blueworks Live.  This also seems like a simple change to just change line color and font color for processes and/or messages that have a link set.

    hi Phillip, thank you for this idea. I understand why you are asking for this, however, we will not consider this for future roadmap at this time, the reason being is that there are number of potential security risks with embedding hyperlinks generally speaking, but mainly because we already show that the activity has a linked process via the icon ( pls see the Send Invoice Activity in the screenshot) Also, it may cause issues for clients who are trying to change the name of the activity, and/or when a user double clicks on the activity to update metadata etc. But we always appreciate new ideas, so pls keep sending, many thanks Laurence
