Include entire structure network in network trace

In Electric Transmission Overhead, we would like to model the insulator chains as a structure line. The model is shown as an approximation in the attached graphic.

In principle, this modeling works, but it has the catch that the connected trace always stops at the object marked with the red cross. I have the following information from Esri:

"In the Utility Network, Structural Attachments are a special kind of connection and not viewed the same as a Junction to Junction connectivity or similar. Therefore, the connected trace will not traverse Structural Attachments. If you have the trace option "Include Structures" checked, then it will return the Attached Structures, but not things in the structure network that are connected to the first attached structure feature."

This means that it is not possible in our model with a single trace to determine which insulator chains and which poles an overhead conductor is attached to. Therefore, it would be helpful to have an option to also trace the entire connected structure network.

I wouldn't have thought this is required as the tier definition has the configuration of what participates in a trace.
