How to translate SDL signal list to something similar in SysML?

This is not so much a programming question as it is a question about modelling. But you could argue that modelling is an integral part of programming.
In SDL it is possible to annotate "communication lines" between blocks (processes, services) with signal list. This is very convenient for developers because it informs them about which types of signals (messages in my case) a block either sends or accepts. (see also wikipedia on SDL and communication between blocks)
I can't find a similar notion in SysML. Either I've to introduce a new class for each signal and use a class (interface) to represent a list, or I need to define an interface class with methods, each representing a signal?
I was a bit surprised it is so difficult to find, because in the development of SysML, the ITU (i.e. the original makers of SDL) purportedly were a stakeholder in the definition of SysML.
I'm looking not for "something that works", but for a readily and widely accepted (say, canonical) way of defining signal lists for SysML blocks.
Anyhow, anyone any idea?
Thanks!
BTW: a suggestions for redirects to more appropriate SO sites is welcome.
