Lint Errors for Element Template Properties Not Selectable in Properties Panel

[philippfromme]

Describe the bug

Lint errors for element template properties reported by bpmnlint-plugin-camunda-compat are not selectable in the properties panel since the properties panel entry ID is different and @camunda/linting isn't aware of element templates. Instead it assumes that a zeebe:Input error would be selectable in the Inputs group. However, if that input was created by an element template, the properties panel entry would have a different ID.

Steps to reproduce

1. Apply an element template that creates a zeebe:Input
2. Enter secrets.FOO which will result in a lint error
3. Click the lint error in the Problems panel
4. Properties panel entry not selected

Expected behavior

Properties panel selected.

Environment

Thanks! Is it a duplicate of https://github.com/camunda/camunda-modeler/issues/3889?

Kind of, this issue is just more specific about what causes this issue. We can close one of the two.

Possible solution: Provide an API to focus an entry given a property; element templates provider can then override

We have no capacity at the moment to work on this and it does not look like a trivial fix, so we leave it in Ready for the next iteration, maybe we have capacity there.
