In Lineage View, a dataflow connected by the old dataflow connector shows the name of the dataflow and will jump to the workspace in which the dataflow resides.

That same dataflow connected by the new dataflow connector just shows "PowerPlatformDataflows" and provides no additional information. The impact analysis is also useless as it shows ALL workspaces that are using the "new" dataflow connector not the workspaces or datasets that are using the selected dataflow.

Recommendation: In lineage view, the connection to the dataflow needs to at least list the name of the dataflow. Additionally the impact analysis needs to filter to only the datasets impacted by the specific dataflow.
