If you Google "uml traceability" (without the quotes), you'll come up with some hits for how others like IBM and Sparx's Enterprise Architect do this stuff. One of the things that will be immediately obvious is that they have much higher levels of support for this type of stuff. We've got all the basic building blocks that you'd need to do this, but you have to roll your own conventions and process instead of having something that you can use off the shelf.
In addition to the Trace relationship that I mentioned before, you can also Derived and Refine relationships as well as a number of other UML elements to do traceability. BTW, the UML Standard Elements profile exists in ArgoUML 0.24 as well, it's just merged in with the Java profile and the ArgoUML specific profile into one big profile that's not easily changeable. What's new in 0.26 is more sophisticated management facilities which allow you to do things like easily select C++ or Java profiles or just use the standard UML profile, as well as to add your own profiles to the mix.
