I subscribe to topics as a way of gathering the good ones. Many times there are several related topics spread over multiple threads and it’s hard to keep track! When I’ve got a good topic I also want to see if anyone else has placed a reference to it to see if I can get more info on the topic.

My feature request is: enable an automatic search option (maybe pre-filled with a count) that says “This topic has been referenced X times. View all topic references in other topics?”

If it can’t be pre-filled with the number of topic references, there could be a button that says “Search for topics where this topic is referenced.”

I currently find those references by copy/pasting the Topic ID into the search field and that works, but it is cumbersome.

Thanks for listening!
