Include formal gates and input/output parameters to sequence diagram references

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Hello,

according to UML specification (2.5.1) interactions can have formal gates (Figure_17.1_UMLSpecification.png).

They would allow messages from and to the diagram frame, see Figure_17.4_UmlSpecification.png and Figure_17.14_UmlSpecification.png. The latter one also shows to which dedicated lifeline this message is sent, i.e. who is called in the subsequence.

According to 17.7.3.1 (Chapter_17.7.3.1_UmlSpecification.png) it shall be possible to put gates to interaction uses (refs), do sent signals with parameters to specific lifelines in those (sub-)sequencs.

Also according to 17.7.4.1 Interaction use, input and output parameters are defined for ref-combined fragments.

All this is currently seems currently not really possible, but really urgently needed to unambigously define, how sub-sequences will be called and which parameters will be provided or sent back to/from which lifeline.


Thank you
