Can you create custom Process Flow Container Shapes?

[ FlexSim 22.1.1 ]

I would like to use Process Flow to create a Value Stream Map of our processes. VSM typically uses certain icons to represent things in the process flow. I would like to have those shapes as containers to put the relevant logic in.
Is there a way to create those shapes as containers?

(I realize I can import images but those are not containers themselves.)

Images are actually containers too. You can drag activities into them and they'll be contained, you can create connections to and from them, and you can turn on the outline and use any of the container shapes. You can even add them to a user library for easy reuse.

You could possibly create your own module using the Module SDK and implement custom containers in C++.

You could also make a new idea post on this site where you suggest the developers add VSM container shapes to the list.
