Find all references

Is there a way to quickly find all the references to an object in the model?

In Witness I can right click on anything (machine, conveyor, variable etc..) and select "Used" it will pull up a window showing every time that object is referenced in the model (input/output rules, the equivalent of triggers, etc..)

This is incredibly useful for debugging complex models, especially if someone else built the model or if you haven't worked on it for a while.

@Tmaclean, as far as I know, no, you cannot. You can try to use the search tool to find strings in names or source code. Maybe you can get a similar result if you load your model into an IDE.

You can use Debug Tools event list and event log to find objects in current model run being addressed in events.

Thank you - I did not know that this was possible. How arduous is the process of loading in/out of an IDE? Is there a tutorial for this?
