Evolve link types constraints in DOORS NEXT to configure link types between modules names

In DOORS Classic, for a specific module (named by its name), it is possible to define the authorized links to another module (by its name).

Goal: configure link constraints for the users to avoid errors.
UseCase in DOORS Classic: right click on a module, Properties, Link set.

In DOORS NEXT, with "Administration" > "Manage Component Properties" > "Link Constraints", I can "Add" contraints between artifact types only (Req module, Requirement,...) but not between artifact names.

Demand: in a DOORS Next project area (or component), propose the same feature in DOORS NEXT as in DOORS Classic. This feature must be optional in a Project Area.
