Have you looked at the DOT language?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOT_(graph_description_language)

 digraph graphname {
     a -> b -> c;
     b -> d;
 }

There are a few others:

Hello

DOT is handled by graphviz, which can export to SVG, that could be imported into Draw. Job's done ! :)
yEd handles TGF and can also export to SVG.

So basically, what is needed here is find a suitable Graph language (please don't create another one), make it create an SVG, then import in draw.

Or use Dia, which does not seem to read graph langs, but has a nice interface to play with flowcharts

Under professional Windows, I use mostly Visio to do flows and copy/paste into impress^W powerpoint. You can do the same with Dia & Impress. IMHO, creating a new import module for a graph lang to dia is more valuable, but being able to draw flows in Draw could be fun as well.

My 5 cents :)
