Right now it's not possible to apply restore related elements to shortcuts so it's not possible to show references/inheritance between those shortcuts. I think it would be useful to support this.

IMO there is too much of a distinction drawn between shortcuts and normal classes. Its quite natural to create diagrams that span several packages. This should be seamless experience.

I do agree though that it forms a useful boundary when you create a new diagram from a package. I certainly wouldn't want that to go outside the package. 

But if I pick a class and choose restore related elements, or if I drag a class from another package onto the diagram then it should behave pretty much the same as a class within the package. i.e. its should restore relationships with other classes on that diagram. And I should be able to navigate from this class too.

Enable the "Restore Related Elements" action for shortcuts.
