I don't think this is what Adam is after.
My guess he's looking for a way to instantiate an association. Like you instantiate an object from a class.
As Jan Glas says, there seems to be no way of doing that with EA. From the user interface I have drawn the conclusion that instantiating an object from a class also was impossible and someone made that possible through special case operation. E.g. why can't change the class of an object? Not even from <null> to SomeClass?
The EA's meta model seems not to support this easily.
I have further more not found a way to show values for attribute(-instances) for the objects.
These problems makes it hard to make "story boards" with EA.
