You are probably misunderstanding.

Of course the lines/verbs/etc are in text and should remain so.

The connections between verbs in a system call trees and so on could be
displayed graphically like a mind map so sometimes most of the texts could
be hidden in bubbles and somtimes opened for viewing/editing like a html
popup.

Again i am not talkibout individual lines for the graphical interface but
rather the flow and such.
