Need easier way to review link location (Document Links Report)
While the Document Links Report (DLR) and Linked Files Report are a great way to quickly identify files that are relied upon, our team would greatly appreciate a more efficient way to review individual links. For example, while the DLR "Location" column makes a high-level reference as to where the link resides (e.g. "text"), it requires the user to click a link and wait for that specific sheet/section to load. When reviewing many links, this can be laborious.
To that end, would it be possible to expand the scope of the Link Properties panel and add a filter? The goal would be to have the panel display 1) all links throughout the entire spreadsheet/document, 2) links within a specific sheet/section and finally 3) links for the current link/cell selected (this is the only option currently).
Again, while the reports are helpful, something that would allow a visual review within the actual spreadsheet or document would be more helpful.

I agree, although I assume the current limitations are for performance reasons. But, e.g., I've had times when I know there is a link *somewhere* in a given section, but combing through the section (in this case, in a Designed Reporting document, making it harder to spot that wee green underline) I can't find it easily. At minimum, it would be nice to even just have a "jump to next/previous link" type feature so that wherever one places the cursor, the Link Properties sidebar allows you to jump from link to link.
