That’s a really cool idea!
+1 From me.

Maybe an easier solution to this problem would be to expand the functionality of the “Execute Workflow” node, like the following:

  • Basic additions:

    1. Add Search functionality to it:
      • like the in the insert function of the “MySQL” node, where you can search for tables in the MySQL database.
    2. Naming of the “Execute Workflow” node:
      • The Name or at least the description of the node which is shown in the Editor should change to the Name of the workflow it executes.

  • Advanced additions:

    1. Add Icons to workflows:
      • With adding user definable icons to workflows, the icon of the “Execute Workflow” node then could automatically change to the icon of the workflow it executes.
    2. Add UUID to workflows:
      • For easier sharing of workflows with this kind of functionality a UUID per workflow would be needed, as the current ID used for workflows changes depending on when it gets added to a n8n instance and how many workflows it has at that moment.

The most important changes for me would be 1 and 2, as those add the most value with the least effort.
3 would a really nice to have, as it adds quite some visual differentiation when multiple of those nodes get used.

The following feature request is mostly the same and could be merged with this topic:
