Idea to extend your plugin or for new plugin: Which media in which pages/posts?

Hi there,

I filed a user story + MVP proposal to the core media issue tracker:
As a website editor I want to find out which media asset (image, video, etc) is used on which pages / posts

The first reaction and assessment I got there: Idea appreciated, a minimal part of this is probably adequate/realistic in core, but the wider features probably better in a 3rd party plugin.

• Your plugin deals with the same topic, but in a limited/specific scope: It deals with “attached images”. That are images that were directly added to a page/post using the (Classic) Editor.
• My intended scope would be wider: Identify all pages/posts which use a media object by whatever method: Attached image, featured image, first uploaded to media library and later embedded to post, inserted via a gallery, etc.
  And also dealing with the possibility that a media object may be used in several pages/posts. Whereas an attached image is limited to being attached to a single page/post.

MVP would be only an analytical tool (find which media objects are used on which pages/posts), and also there start small. And only later versions would possibly also offer tools to act upon the objects — Remove orphans, remove particular instances, etc.

Please tell me what you think of this!

• Regarding the idea itself ideally directly in the issue (for a wide audience)
• And whether you see chances for extending your plugin or making a new one ideally directly here.
• Whatever / whereever it makes sense to you!

Thanks for any reaction!
