When I create documents I tend to create a lot of internal links to each other.

It would be very helpful to add a Linked / Related documents pane.

The link / related documents pane would show other internally linked documents to the currently focused document / folder.

Would this benefit others?

Maybe you talk about Item Parents window, no?

definitely, this has been suggested several times ...

Pane 1:
I'd like to see for the current item all other items where the current one is internally linked

Pane 2:
I'd like to see for the current item all other items that are internally linked to it

Ilya,

Thanks for the reply.

I use the parents window also but this would be another window ( like the parents window ) for internally linked documents.

On a focused document, click the 'Tree' drop down menu, then click 'Link/Move : Alt+L'. This allows you to link internal documents to each other.

I have 1600 documents and a lot of these documents cross reference each other ( the database is normalized ). So in order to easily find documents that I internally linked to each other, a linked documents pane would be extremely helpful.

Not only would I be able to easily find documents that are linked to each other, the navigation between the linked documents would be beneficial as well.
