At the moment a contained model element can only be displayed inside of the model element, which contains it. I need the option to display the container -> child relation with a link.

Reproducible: Always

I've been reading about how to display aggregation relationship between two classes in the diagram, like a simply link in the generated editor keeping containment property in true.
There are many items about how to do it with containers, but there aren't any of them without containers (all I need is do it with a link).

A<>----B (diagram)

A----->B (This is what I want to show in the editor)

I hope you can help me! Thanks

I found out that this is already available via phantom nodes. http://www.eclipse.org/gmt/epsilon/doc/articles/eugenia-phantom-nodes/
