Nicholas Carenza commented on NIFI-4101:
----------------------------------------
What if this were implemented as a purely visual feature using existing
relationships but instead of there being a line connecting the processors, they
each had just a stub and, going with [~alopresto]'s idea, clicking on the
relationship would reveal the path. THis could be available in the context menu
for the relationship.

> I'd like to be able to create something like ports to transport flowfiles
> around a process group to avoid having criss-crossed relationship lines like
> in the attached screenshot.
> I drew something that represents what I'm talking about and attached a
> sketch. I recreated the flow from the screenshot using portals.
> Portals would kind of be like funnels in that they don't have functionality
> of their own and have a queue for each relationship attached to them.
