This would be a really valuable feature. 
Lucid using mermaid to just insert an image as it does at present, is of low value because if all you need is the output of a mermaid as an image, then you could use any mermaid renderer to create an insertable PNG. 
The real value of inserting a mermaid diagram into a diagraming tool such as Lucid would be to then allow one to manually manipulate the generated elements to fine-tune their positions and attributes.
Excalidraw does this very well - it’s mermaid integration creates manipulatable objects. 

Thank you ​@MLewis for adding your feedback here to this thread and for letting us know details about what you’d like to see in this experience!

I agree with all of the above and same here, I’m generating a flow through LLM. I can convert the flow to UML and then use the Mark up but it only seems to work for UML sequence diagrams but would like to see a flow. The solution for me would be either make the mermaid diagram editable or have some better way to display than the existing Sequence models. What is your solution to this?

Thank you for sharing your feedback, ​@karoline! 

It would be great to convert a mermaid Diagramm into a Lucidchart editable version!! 

Thank you for showing your support for this idea and letting us know what you’re hoping to see ​@Sehwert!
