    Description

      I'd like to be able to create something like ports to transport flowfiles around a process group to avoid having criss-crossed relationship lines like in the attached screenshot.

      I drew something that represents what I'm talking about and attached a sketch. I recreated the flow from the screenshot using portals.

      Portals would kind of be like funnels in that they don't have functionality of their own and have a queue for each relationship attached to them.
