THANKS!! That did work. Now the arrow line thickness is updating as line thickness is changing

How ever, in my case the arrow head is really small. In your example it seems the bounding box is quite small compared to the whole arrow head drawing. Is that doing the trick?
In my case if I put the size to Jumbo, it gets to the size of medium of normal arrows.

Yes, I did it on purpose. There may be other ways, but I liked this one.

I used such sequence:
1. make a small group, for example from a short line
2. Open it for editing, add an arrow image
3. Delete the primary shape
4. Close the group and do not update the bounding box
In this case, the group remains small, and the arrow goes beyond the group.

I think that worked. I am still not sure how that happened and why it did.
Don't know why such a simple task needs such specific things to be done to get it correct. However really happy there is such a good community behind it.

Attaching the VSSX file incase someone looks for it in future and reaches here.

There must have been free beer somewhere when they taught us bond graphs at the university. Well, not even sure about this, because there isn't even a German page on Wikipedia about them.
Reading the English version, I remembered why I gave up on OpenModellica.
Then I consoled myself with the serenity prayer and went back to Visio.
