search where a file is used

we can search the transcript, that's great
but for other parts of the video where there is no script, i want to be able to search it easily
for example, show me all the places where i used "battery.png", or "music-113.mp3" or "transition.mov"
then we can easily navigate the file without scrolling and manually looking

How to find media files in Script? What about click and show in the timeline?

I had trouble with a media file in my project. When I tried to delete it, it said the file is used in my project composition XYZ. However, where???
I tried to search the whole script, no text pointed at this particular media file. I knew I copied layouts from a different project including this media file, however this was a different project.
I found the file in the end. There was a very tiny snipped used with "no words". So in the script text, there was no reference only in the timeline.
I wish I had a simple: click and mark that media file in the timeline feature.
In the project files, where it shows the dot with "not used", do the different as well. Show it to us in the timeline. When I select the file show the first occurrence, that is already enough.
Wouldn't that be great?
