Suggestions and Requests / HTML Report tool - handling external associations

A suggestion for SPARX for the HTML Report tool
Currently if I generate an HTML Report of my UML model, and my model has associations to classes in a package external to my model (like ISO packages), then those associations are ignored and not documented in the report. If I want to see all the associations of my model, I have to include the external package within my UML model package.
But... wouldn't it be good if the HTML report could describe that there is an association from my class to an external class, without me having to include the whole external package in my report (eg, I don't want to include the whole ISO19115 model in my HTML report!). My most recent HTML report went from 9Mb to 40Mb because I had to include all of the ISO packages that my model linked to be able to report a handful of associations.
