@jeremystretch commented on GitHub (Jan 19, 2022):

In v3.0 and later, cable traces are rendered as SVG images. These were intentionally simplified in the interest of readability and portability. You're welcome to propose adding extra information and/or hyperlinks to the trace images, but this will need a feature request with a detailed proposal and use case. Thanks!
