Hi,

it would be really useful if we could set the id element in sequence diagrams, so we can reference the specific elements from other diagrams for example.

@startuml

'reference other diagram

note over a_participant: look there [[other_diagram.svg#my_set_id]]

' or

foo  -> bar: foobar [[]other_diagram.svg#foobar]

@enduml

In terms of syntax it could as follows, which enables setting more than one attribute, which might be useful if any post-processing is happening.

@startum

note over the_other {id=my_set_id}: note with a user specified id

foo  -> bar {id=foobar}: Here we start foobar

@enduml
