Find dependencies within an analysis

There should be a better way to list / find the dependencies within a file so the consequences of changes can be foreseen.

What stuff in my file will break if I decide to remove or change a:

- (calculated) column
- document property
- marking
- visualization
- ...?

Currently you need to go through all the plots and all the different places where expressions can be used to find if, for example, a document property is used anywhere. It makes it very trick to clean up files and remove functionality so the files tend to grow in complexity.
