Control Grouping in SVG Export

[RoyiAvital]

My use case is generating SVG with Luxor.jl and use them within PowerPoint.
Yet, in order to be able to work with objects on PowerPoint I need to ungroup the SVG.

The issue it breaks all elements into too small items.
For instance, it breaks arrows into lines and the tip.

Is there a way to control what's an object, or at least an hierarchy of the objects?

The motivation is to be able to create animations in PowerPoint.
I guess the same will work for Apple Keynote and similar.

The SVG export feature of Cairo is pretty basic, and isn’t configurable as far as I can see. Everything - including text - is converted to basic graphic primitives. It usually works and reproduces the Cairo canvas well (although some complex set-ups with clipping and gradients sometimes fail), but the low level SVG output isn’t as useful as it could be.

I see.
I guess the only solution is me drawing each grouped element on its own.
Not elegant, but I guess nothing you can do about it.

Is this still relevant? If so, what is blocking it? Is there anything you can do to help move it forward?
