PlantUml define relative position of components

A typical approach is to mark a line as hidden.

One thing to keep in mind is that hidden is only supported for left-to-right ->, and top-to-bottom --> lines, so you need to place the left and right side accordingly (syntax X <[hidden]- Y doesn’t seem to be supported).

@startuml
class ComponentA

ComponentB -[hidden]> ComponentA
ComponentA -[hidden]-> ComponentC
@enduml
