Is there a way to include a hyperlink from the text in one of the draw.io objects? This would help to link from the diagram to relevant Confluence pages.

Using "Edit->Edit Link" works only by inserting a URL. I would like to open another saved xml.

I tried to use the Draw.io add-on (the cloud version is free) from the Confluence Marketplace for about 2 or 3 days in the last 2 weeks and added a few flowcharts where certain chart steps were linking to how-to articles in Confluence and the flowchart itself was used in the troubleshooting pages. I can't remember exactly how I added the links into the diagrams but as I can remember there was an "insert link" feature which can be used on certain selected diagram objects.

I wasn't happy with draw.io's visualization methods and their feature-set was very limited. Nowadays I'm evaluating Lucidcharts and it looks very promising. Their linking process is a bit different than draw.io which is a little bit cumbersome but they deliver much more feats in a much more powerful visualization. (And yes their Confluence cloud add-on is not free!)
