Add a way to find where an alias is used
100%
Description
It would be very nice to have a way to find where an alias is used in the config. I'm currently searching for a rule where a specific server is used and I mus go through all the interfaces tab ans search using the browser's search function.

Easier way: download a config backup and grep/search it.
Not sure how feasible this would be in the GUI, given the large number of places that it's possible to use an alias, but it may be possible in the future.

I agree there is a workaround, but it would be very nice to have it in the GUI. This saves a lot of time when I'm on vacation and someone replaces me but doesn't know the firewall setup perfectly.
