Extra Easy way to know what uses the data-block
- Use a material on several objects,
- click the X aka delete button on the material
- blender: yeahhhh it’s still in use elsewhere, i’m going to keep it… go figure out on your own where it’s used.

With the current GUI and python API, it is fairly easy to find "What the data-block uses" while it is very difficult to track "What uses the data-block".
AND it is very frustrating. I believe that all data-blocks in blender should have a reference to its users which is accessible from our beloved out-liner.

I agree. In the meantime, you could use this addon. blenderartists.org/t/addon-scenextra-view-search-edit-analyze-scene-resources/693536
