Finding where a given GEM is used in Live

I am looking for a method for finding all the places a given GEM is used in all of my Live displays.  In particular, I'm wanting to be able to look at all the Chart and Sparkline GEMs to check which tags they are referring to.  Is there an easy way to do this?

  Unfortunately Chart and Sparkline aren't GEMs but objects so you can't use the File Info to see where they are used like you can a GEM.
  
  You will have to export all the displays and then use Notepad++ to search the export files for references to <Chart Name=" and <Sparkline Name=" and they you will have all the references found by display and then result should show you the name of that item after the search criteria.
  
  After you find some you can look into further search methods to find the info you really want with Regular expression.

  Thanks! If I did the export, would it also carry with it the name of the tag used by each of the pens? If I can, I think I could make that get me where I need to be.

  yes, all of the information is within the export. Here is an example of simple sparkline and highlighting the tag reference:
