Overwriting relationship description inside a view

[posto]

I'm trying out structurizr and my goal is to be able to generate use-case specific diagrams from the common model.

I'd like to take the structurizr model and create a use-case specific diagram, where I would also change the relationship text, to better describe the use-case.

For example, the model could describe customerService -> customerDB "manage customer data", however when describing the the "Change Email" use-case, I'd like to clearly state that we're changing the email in the DB:

views {
  systemContext customerService change_email_usecase {
    title "Change email use-case"
    include ->customerService
    customerService -> customerDB "change email"  ### <--- I'd like this
  }
}

Model-level descriptions are generic and enable browsing through the whole system and getting a high-level understanding. However when working on technical design documents, specificity in the description is needed and I couldn't find a way to achieve that. I know that dynamic views can override the description, however it forces an ordering on the operations and that's not what I'm looking for.

Any ideas if what I'm looking for can be achieved in structurizr?

For a use case specific diagram, I'd recommend using a dynamic diagram, which allows you to override the relationship description. Links:
