Looked everywhere to no avail.

Ha, one of the classics again  ;D

It indicates that this element has a linked document. Right click on it and select "Linked Document" to edit it.

It would be very useful to have that in the Archimate 3 MDG...

It's not in the ArchiMate spec.

It's not in the UML spec either, but that didn't stop them.

You might well think that.  I couldn't possibly say that!

We get far more "how can I make ArchiMate not ArchiMate" questions than "how can I make UML not UML", and UML is more amenable to change.

Take the example I gave in the other thread and add the following to your shape script.

Code: [Select]
decoration linked_document
{
orientation= "SE";
h_Align="right";
v_Align="bottom";
if(hasproperty("haslinkeddocument","true"))
{
SetFontColor(255,0,0);
print("A");
}
}
