OK, I&#39;ve had a bit of a play with it and it&#39;s not perfect.&nbsp; I don&#39;t think its easily queried and would likely result in too big a performance hit on the Used By results (due mainly to the recursive structure of the data).&nbsp; I&#39;d be happy to be proved wrong though.&nbsp; :)

I&#39;d be just as happy with being able to view the results from ALL_SOURCE where the line(s) of code was LIKE my referenced package.&nbsp; An option to fetch extended results in the Uses/Used By tab perhaps?

It&#39;s a popular idea at least:

Have you looked at whether PL/Scope information could be used within TOAD?&nbsp; I&#39;d be particularly interested in whether the Used By data could be enhanced to include additional PL/Scope information (if available).

What I&#39;d really like to see on the Used By tab of TOAD is how a package is used by another package (not just that it is).&nbsp; For example, is the reference to a procedure/function call or a package variable perhaps.&nbsp; Would PL/Scope provide us with that detail and could it be easily (and efficiently) added to the Used By result set?

As you can see, I&#39;ve not had a chance to play with it myself so I&#39;m wondering if anyone else has looked at PL/Scope and how we might be able to start enhancing TOAD to take advantage of this additional information.
