Add capability to search and get a list of the artifacts that contain a specific embedded artifact

When an artifact is embedded in another artifact (example , a software signal artifact embedded in a requirement artifact), it would be useful to quickly get a list of the artifacts (requirements) where the embedded artifact (software signal) resides.  This is needed for change impact analysis.   The ability to embed artifacts was a tool differentiator for Honeywell and allowed development with support of single source of truth (the software signal) and is used extensively in our current project.  

I would suggest this be implemented within the RM search function where the use can search for the artifact ID (software signal) and have a option to find and list all artifacts where the artifact is embedded.  The context of the items embedded into should be provided as well (folder, module).  

An extension of this concept would allow the user to provide multiple artifact ids (thru a CSV or excel file)  and have the tool provide a report (in CSV or Excel format) with the following information in columns

  1. Embedded artifact ID
  2. Embedded artifact Content
  3. ID of artifact where embedded
  4. location(s) of artifact where embedded (folder, module(s))

    Note that when users embed an artifact they can create at the same time a trace link, for example "embeds".
