With global project linking, is it possible to see a list of all child projects/files that are linked to a parent project from within the parent project? Is it possible to see the parent project and/or parent files from within a child project?

It seems logical that this would be possible, but I have been unable to figure out how to do this.

Thanks for any help!

In a child project:

1. Project Ograniser > Imports.
2. Open the import file, which displays in the Project Import Editor, with the Source Project tab open.
3. Switch to the Imported File tab, which lists each imported file and the full path to its folder (so you need different folders for each project).

In a parent project... I don't know (it's not even indicated in Dependencies), yet that is possibly more useful. After all, you can't accidentally edit a topic in a child project, but might forget that changes in the parent could affect the child. Then again, when you next compile the child, you'll be alerted if there are changes.
