We adopted _C4 Models_ and use _Azure DevOps Wiki_'s for our documentation. Currently, we model in _Vizio_, etc. and paste a screen shot into our wiki docs or have tried to use _PlantUML_. Azure DevOps supports _mermaid_ natively now so I would like to see if there is already an easy way to support C4 and/or Azure shapes using Flowchart(s) + CSS or if there is an opportunity to support them some other way.
I have used _PlantUML_ and extensions for both _C4_ and _Azure_ models in our wiki docs. Here are a few extensions to help explain the intent hopefully.

Perhaps an enhancement similar to the font-awesome support?

Just playing around a bit - I created this using current flowchart functionality. I get that this does not completely match the example (Message Bus and Microservices) but like I said, just playing around...

Having C4 in Mermaid would be terrific.

Agree, but we need more figures (database, message bus, etc.)
Plus would be a killer feature, if somehow you add clickable transition from 1 graph to another. So I will be able to describe different levels of my project (classes diagram, component diagram, context diagram) and connect 1 box with (zoom in) 1 another graph. And obviously will be able to go back (zoom out).
