Select portion of the model tree, and created a graph of that part
The 'nodes' can be individually selected and moved into a better composition, coloured, maybe added with an directional arrow
I have proposed the first point already quite some time ago. I think that could well be doable by giving only limited data to the external program (dot).
The second point would be great too, but that's probably rather not a FreeCAD thing.

Nearly as effective, perhaps easier to implement, would be the capability to pan the image as well as zoom.
I use Gesture mouse model and can pan and zoom. Pan works only if the image doesn't fit on the screen.
For me it it isn't a replacement for showing only a subset: You cannot arrange the objects and - especially if spreadsheets are involved, there are far too many arrows on the screen to see the connections clearly.

Indeed, the architectural model shown above isn;t complicated in fact, and could have so many lines overlapped and span over a numbers of screens easily
BTW, it seems the standard Dependency Graph is not something by python, there is not an API or something similar which can be tweaked and reported in the Python Console?
