I'm attempting to draw a hierarchical diagram. I already found this example and a corresponding question. This helps a lot but unfortunately I need a slightly more sophisticated diagram and don't know how to achieve my goals.
My code looks as follows:

The results can be seen below:
What I would like to have are arrows between the nodes X1, X2 and X3 and the nodes X11-X18 in order to avoid having to concatenate nodes X11-X18 three times (once for each higher level node). In short, I'm looking for a way to draw the red arrows in the diagram below:
