Hello E.,

From:

For a dot, You can use interface as:

@startuml
object parent
() " " as helper
parent <|-- helper
helper -- child1
helper -- child2
helper -- child3
@enduml

And if we make the diamond invisible, we make a missing element or a hole appear on the diagram...

@startuml
<style>
diamond {
  Backgroundcolor transparent
  Linecolor transparent
}
</style>

object parent
<> helper 
parent <|-- helper
helper -- child1
helper -- child2
helper -- child3
@enduml

If that can help,
Regards,
Th.

You could group inheritance too (but I think it works only for inheritance)
