Re: Programmatically doing 'Find Usages"

Curious, but i am looking to develop a plugin and while i have outlined 
the basic use case below, it is specific for a company/product internal 
functionality.

It is not something that i can disclose in an open forum.

The links below are blogs on the some related functionality of NB, which 
are great but do not serve my purpose.
