Lineage implies dependencies.  Gateway connections are not depending on anything?

I don't agree, lineage as in chain / sequence. That is datasets and dataflows depend on data gateways.

Call it what you want, the concept is there is no easy link between gateway connections and datasets / dataflows.

    Ah, so you want to add the gateway connection to the dataset data source lineage?

      Yes but also see it from the other direction, ie look at gateway connections and see any dataset/dataflow that is dependent on it.

        There may be issues with ownership and privacy,  but other than that it should be possible to cobble that together somehow. Voted.
