Summary0003629: Display and list current lever-object linkages
DescriptionAs far as I can tell, it is currently impossible to determine what a lever is linked to without pulling it. It would be nice to have a "view currently linked objects" option on the level query menu that lists all linked objects.

Additionally, it would be ideal if the list would allow the user to also locate on the game field each object to which that lever is linked by zooming to and highlighting it when the user selects it from the list via +/-.

I believe this approach would mirror the linking interface quite a bit.
Additional InformationFurther optional related enhancements:
- when in "view currently linked objects" mode, highlight on the game field *all* items linked to the currently queried lever, and additionally highlight currently selected linked object in a different way (e.g. flashing)
- display to and/or warn the user of items that are linked to other levers
- allow the user to find linked lever(s) when querying a linked object
- allow the user to un-link an object from a lever
TagsNo tags attached.
