Deep link to a workflow activity

Planned

Sometimes I need to communicate a reference to a certain activity in a workflow, for instance in a message to a coworker (e.g. ‘please look at activity [x] in workflow [y]’).

If the activity is several containers deep, it's hard to explain where it is located, and I need to describe which containers, forms or for-eaches have to be traversed.

It would be nice if we could copy the entire breadcrumb line from the designer, which is in most cases unique, at least if containers have descriptive names (this is a requirement in our department).

Even better would be to be able to copy a URL to an activity. I can imagine an extra option in the activity's ⋮ menu, which would copy a URL such as https://server/vertigisstudio/workflow/designer/#workflow=1faf80a87a604a56859cc82e48786e04&activity=some_activity_id to the clipboard. Opening the URL would of course focus the referenced activity.
