Describe the feature you'd like

Currently only text and images react to the text alignment if I select left, right, center from the editor menu. A selected diagram is not responding to this and - by default - is always aligned to the left side of the page

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing BookStack users

The user could intuitively use the alignment buttons to lay out diagrams on a page
Instead of using a custom hack it would be possible to individually align diagrams on a page.
The hack from https://github.com/BookStackApp/BookStack/issues/4463 is working, but only on a global level and will set the diagram alignment for all diagrams an all pages to the same value.

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

Only with a global hack from https://github.com/BookStackApp/BookStack/issues/4463
