Yes, simply want to see where (in what items) the current item is referenced (for example you have a library, and want to see where the article is referenced). This should preferably be dynamic pane opening if the current items is referenced somewhere and present a list of those items. The more advanced version of this would be if the pane didn't contain only list of those items but few words before and few words after the occurrence of link to current item, some kind of preview ...

well, of course, this should be optional, I'd definitely turn it on. I don't create links to other items just for fun, so I want to know when I delete an item whether I'm breaking some "relationship" to other items and review those if necessary ...
