Jump To Target Any relationship with a “Target ID” attribute (e.g. “Action has Tool”, “Tool  has Input Parameter”). Reveals and selects the object selected as “Target ID” in the editor.
Used By (n)…(“n” being the number of referencing items.) Any object that can be referenced (e.g. “Property”, “Tool Descriptor”). Opens a dialog which shows all references to the selected object. Double-clicking a reference in the dialog will reveal and select it in the editor (but the dialog stays open). The number of referencing items is displayed in the action label (see the figure below).
