As a user I want to create a non interrupting message start event in an event sub-process, but I cannot find it.

Non interrupting start events appear once searched for. I don't think it is strictly necessary to show them all the time.

There is a hard-coded check which removes Participants and Start Events from append menu.

Instead of doing that we could hide them initially (rank=-1). We also allow "appending" of event sub-processes.

However this issue specifically is about the create menu, where these entries are not available, too.

Yes the non interrupting start event is missing completely from the options list

I started looking at this. All the non-interrupting start events are missing.

With the current rules, these events are changed into default start events when not placed in an event sub process:

In my opinion, I think it makes sense to instead block the shape placement like we do for the non-interrupting boundary events. Demo:
