Ian Brown writes: "It is difficult to trace wiring in complex diagrams. It would be good it when one selects a wire, it goes bold or changes colour. This boldness / colour should propagate through actors where the input / output relationship is known. This would be especially useful where actors with multiport input and outputs (such as boolean switches) are used. This would allow a designer to more easily trace a single data-flow though a complex diagram."

Right now, when a link is selected, we highlight the ends of the relation. We could do more here.

Note that we do have the dependency highlighter, which will show dependencies. To use the dependency highlighter in vergil, in the left hand actor library pane, drag Utilities -> Analysis -> DependencyHighlighter on to the actor in question. The context menu for the actor gains four menu choices that will highlight or clear highlights for the dependents and prerequisites.

Perhaps a better interface would help here. Would it be possible for the context menu to have these choices always present?
