I would like to be able to draw a "gate" (described here) on a sequence diagram, but I have not been able to figure out how to do that with tikz-uml. The closest I've been able to come is to use a \umlboundary, as shown in the code below:
\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage{tikz-uml}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\begin{umlseqdiag}
\umlboundary[no ddots]{EXT}
\umlobject[no ddots]{A}
\umlobject[no ddots]{B}
\umlobject[no ddots]{C}
\begin{umlcall}[op=external]{EXT}{A}
\end{umlcall}
\begin{umlcall}[op=query, type=synchron, return=identify]
{A}{B}
\end{umlcall}
\begin{umlcall}[op=hb, type=synchron, return=register]
{B}{C}
\end{umlcall}
\end{umlseqdiag}
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}
This results in the following diagram:

However, I don't want the circle, "EXT" label, lifeline, or rectangle associated with the umlboundary object, I want it to look something like this:

Is there some way to draw a gate with tikz-uml?
tikz-uml, I'd suggest contacting the maintainer (https://perso.ensta-paristech.fr/~kielbasi/tikzuml/) and making a feature request. – Torbjørn T.
