### 8.3.6. Displaying an Object's Usage

If an object is referenced by another object, you can quickly determine which object references it by selecting (More) > Display > Details (or the Details display tab if the object is already opened), then expanding the Where used section.

For example, if you were to create a shortcut to an object, the shortcut's Where used section would display the path of the target object:

As another example, if you were to add a Reference property to Object A that points to Object B (see Adding/Removing Properties), you would see the path of Object A in the Where used section of Object B.
