"Entity Diagram" or similar for Structures

If we have an application with very complex structures nested or related with each other (created manually or loaded from a WSDL), it would be very helpful if we could see those relations in a diagram similar to the one the platform has for entities. Not sure the proper name for such a diagram though...

Hi J,

The idea would be to allow us to drag a structure to a diagram similar to what we do in entity diagrams and allow to use the options to show all structures that refer or are referenced by a specific structure. 

I found it helpful if you are dealing with complex structures created automatically while consuming an API.

Is it not WSDL reverse modeling?

I'm adding my vote to this idea, because I thought about the exact same thing today while exposing a rest api. While collaborating with a collegae and creating all the structures that support the request/responses the list of structures doesn't really provide a nice overview. So having a diagram feature similar like we have for entities would help to give a quick overview of the entire structure.
