Describe the Bug
Alignment helpers (snap lines) for external labels show outside of participant, but not within participant / lane:
Steps to Reproduce
- Align external label with Gateway/Event outside of participant
- See that label target is "peer" used for horizontal center alignment
- Align external label with Gateway/Event inside of participant
- See that label target is not accounted as "peer", and no assistance is given
Can be reproduced on demo.bpmn.io.
Expected Behavior
Same behavior, independent of the modeling context.
