FEATURE: Please bring back the FtM export for network diagrams

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
A number of people use Aleph's network diagram tool to build a diagram and then hand it off to designers and developers. There used to be button to export the network diagram as JSON (FtM) that we could point people to so they could hand it off to their developers to make interactives based on their work easily. That no longer exists in the current version of Aleph. It would make our lives a bit easier if it were added back. Maybe instead of saying FtM it could say JSON so it would be clearer to people what they were getting and how it would be useful.
Describe the solution you'd like
A JSON (or FtM) button / option for downloading/exporting the data in their network diagram.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Alternative -> Aleph API to export entity set items.
Additional context
Nope.
@brrttwrks Can you share some additional details (here or privately) about the workflow to go from network diagrams to publishable interactives? Maybe you even have examples for interactives that were developed based on a network diagram.
There is an option to export as SVG which I know some people have used as a starting point for static visualizations. I assume this might be less useful for certain interactives as it could require re-entry of data?
