Is your feature request related to a problem?

Use case diagrams can have, among others, extends relationships between two use cases. UML allows to make these extends relationships conditional by adding a note to them. Unfortunately, the editor does not allow to add such a node.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like to have a way to add such a note to an extends relationship in an easy way. I see two possible solutions: either one can add them as an optional free text when editing the relationship (similar to what the simple association allows), or one has to have a dedicated graph element for the note. An example of the desired result can be seen at https://www.uml-diagrams.org/use-case-extend.html.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Currently, our students try to emulate the note with the existing box element or by providing a textual note in the explanation text box. While these approaches work, they do not follow the syntax of UML, can be misleading while grading, or even missed while grading.
