Does anyone know of a tool (preferably FOSS of course) for creating diagrams of different levels (organizational, process, use case, class, topology etc) where the diagrams are connected via an underlying data structure? So that if you change a part of a diagram, all related diagrams update as well?
I think Modelio seems interesting but it looks like a nightmare to get normies to use it given the advanced UI.

How I manage Images for my Blog | Martin Lysk

TL;DR I use an Excalidraw, wrap the elements of interest with a frame, name it with export_ prefix, my forked excalidraw extension automatically generates SVGs for light and dark mode.
