Link between called workflows in Archive

When workflows call other workflows, a connection is made between them, there is a link set up in the calling workflow to the called workflow, to easily find it and open it up.

When the workflows have been archived, the link is no longer there, and there seem to be no mean of easily finding the connection between the calling and called workflow.

I propose that this is handled, by still having a link between them when they reside within the Archive. If not that, then some other mean to locate them.

Just going by workflow name is not good enough, since the called workflow always has the same name with a rolling digit at the end.

If I archive the called workflow with a 0 at the end, then the next instance will have the same name (wiht the 0), when I archive that, there will be two workflows with the 0 in the Archive. Once this number grows it will be very hard to figure out which workflow was called on by which workflow.
