Description:
relationships that have been "hidden" can't be selected/edited (once the editor of the
relation has been closed) to make it visible again

How to repeat:
hide a relationship on the canvas and close the editor (if open) ... 

there's a workaround at the moment: remove one of the tables on either side of the
connection without deleting the database object (if you delete a table figure you're
being asked by WB if the corresponding database object should be deleted along with the
canvas-figure)
then drag the deleted table back onto the canvas from then Catalog Pane (this creates a
new figure for the relation as well which is initialized as visible)

another workaround (without the need for delete/re-add anything):
- go to View->Advanced->GRT Shell (or press Ctrl+F3)
- and navigate through the GRT-Tree (middle pane in right sidebar)
- navigate to /wb/doc/physicalModels/0/views
- open the node for the corresponding diagram
- each Diagram node holds a collection of the placed connections
- select the corresponding conn. and it should show up in the GRT-Inspector below where
you can then change visibility

Feature to show connections corresponding to FKs of a table added to the layer tree in 5.0
and 5.1 trees.
Note: There's currently no icon for connections,  they must be added.

Info for Documenting:

The layer pane now displays the connections as child-nodes for the tables. Also we have
activated the [+] icons to expand/collapse the different objects in the structure
(double-click now doesn't expand/collapse the nodes anymore).
By double-clicking an object it gets the selection and canvas scrolls the object into the
viewable area. This way hidden objects can be selected and switched back to visible via
the property pane.

The main docs have been updated with appropriate information. 

A change entry was also added to the 5.0.27 and 5.1.4 changelogs:

There was a problem where relationships that were hidden could then not be selected in
order to bring up their relationship editor. Relationships can now be selected as objects
in the Layer window. Once selected, the relationship's visible property can be set to True
in the Properties window, thus making the relationship visible again.
