 * Hi there,
 * How are “linked post” entries generated in the Links page, it seems automated?
   Is it any page on the website that contains one or more shortened URLS?
 * If so, is there a way to see which shortened links are on a linked post? It would
   be very helpful to see a list of links per post.
 * Perhaps a section could be added to the Edit view of a linked post link, or even
   better, from the Links table, have the linked post table row be expandable to
   show the list of shortened links without having to go into the Edit view.
 * Would this be added in a upcoming update?
 * Thanks!

 * Hi,
 * “Linked Post” does not indicate all short links available to that page but it
   indicates that this short link is generated automatically for any of the Posts,
   Pages, or Custom Post Types of WordPress.

 * Can you please explain a little bit more about this feature? Most importantly
   why you need this?

 * I see. Is there a way to turn off this automated process?
 * As for the second part, it was based off of the assumption that a linked post
   was a post that contained a shortened URL. But since you said that is not always
   the case, this is more of a general capability request. So generally speaking,
   it would be helpful to have a capability to see where shortened links are used
   on the website. Either as a new section within the Links edit view (I can click
   to open/edit a link, and within it, there is a table or similar with a list of
   website URLs/posts/titles where that shortened link has been used), or this could
   be a new option in the plugin menu, perhaps “Usage” or part of Tools. There could
   be a use case where link updates could be applied to individual posts or to all(
   bulk operation)
 * Thanks!
