find which layer a linked file is located in?

I wish to embed a linked file and I know how to do this, but the linked file is located in a locked layer and when I try to embed the image I am instructed to unlock the layer first--problem is that I do not know which layer the linked image is located in and there are many layers! Is there a quicker way to find the linked file without systematically searching through each layer to find it?

Thanks!

    You can Just press Ctrl + Alt + 2  to unlock all objects after unlocking Layers because if it is locked you can't Go to Link of it.

    If layers are locked you can Unlock All Layers from the layers panel menu.

    Go to Link works fine on locked layers on my machine.

    It does not work on locked images.

    In the Links Panel, select the image and click the Go to Link button

    It will show as a selection in the Layers Panel.
