You can make the element composite, remove the automatically created diagram and drag your linked diagram inside the composite element.

May be there are other options.

Drag one diagram onto the other. Check the three options EA offers.

Qwery hey;
Dragging a diagram just puts another componenet on my diagram.
I would like to "drag a diagram" onto an existing componenet.

Like Günther said: make the element composite. If you first move the diagram below the element in the project browser EA will not create a new diagram but use that one.

Btw not all elements can be made composite,

Yes. Sorry. I did not read well enough. Günther's solution is the preferred one.

Great ,thanx Guys,
using a composite does work, but it creates a child diagram.
how can I link to just any diagram? (and not a child)

thanx

make the element no composite
move the desired diagram under the element
make the element composite
-> now this diagram opens on dbl-click
you can move it back to where you want.
