Re: report for snippets
Hi Maxine,
If the snippets are topics in the current project you can get this with the Find Referrers function (right-click on the topic in the topic files section to access it). However, if the snippets are in external files, in another project or in a style repository you can't get a report for where they are used.

Re: report for snippets
@Maxine. You can also indirectly check which external snippet files are used by a project by running the Long report and looking for 'Refers to' entries that start with "file::" (e.g. Refers to: file::Security.xml).
@Tim. Might be helpful if 'Refers to' in the Long report could show whether the reference is topiclink, snippet or popup, and distinguish class="external"? Or perhaps produce a version of this report in an intermediate format like XML or json for downstream filtering/formatting?
