RH 2015. How can I quickly find out where bookmarks are being used?

RoboHelp 2015.

I inherited topics from a writer who has left the company. One topic has a lot of bookmarks. The only way I've found to identify where the bookmarks are used is to save a Topic Properties report as an RTF and then search the RTF for each instance of the bookmark.

When I add a row to a table where each field has a bookmark, I need to understand the logic behind the bookmarks so that I can create a new bookmark and then create links to it from all appropriate places.

Does anyone know of any better way to do this?

Thanks.

Thanks, Amebr.

Neither option (Show Topic Links or Show Topic References) does what I need it to do. Even when you right-click on the bookmark, you only get the topic links/references. What I want is an easy to understand Link View or report for every bookmark in the project.

Customise the Topics Report to just show bookmarks.

This might not help, but you can see all the topics linked to a specific bookmark by expanding the topic in Project Manager to show the bookmarks, then right-click on a bookmark and select Show > Topic References.

Or possibly Show > Topic Links?

I find that view much more confusing. The interface could do with...erm...modernising and streamlining.
