Showing just one edge out of many edges [message #1802606]

Hello,
I am writing a traceability tool where cells in a table are derived from cells in other tables.
I can show all the traceability with edges in Sirius, but the diagram becomes very messy when I show ALL the edges , as shown in the attached image [showOneEdge.png]
I would like to show just the edges for a single selected table cell (like the one I have highlighted in blue in the image) Is there a way to do this?
I considered that one solution may be to show all the edges and then make a mapping filter with View Condition Expression that hides all edges not connected to the selected cell, is it possible to do this?

Maybe I need to use the 'candidate mappings' for a DNode?

It's not possible directly because in the expressions defining the mapping or filters you do not have access to the selection (and even if they had, they would not be refreshed/recomputed on every selection change). However you can probably create a custom action (using the standard Eclipse mechanisms) that could be invoked on a cell, which would programmatically hide all the irrelevant edges on the diagram by invoking org.eclipse.sirius.diagram.tools.api.command.view.HideDDiagramElement.
