It's a bit tricky because for example we use the javascript eval() function to programmatically access name mapping, and we often assign name mapping to variables to shorten the lines where we use them. I wouldn't expect TestComplete to know about these instances because they're a little bit obfuscated from it.

 

For the most part I just use searching (grep, or VSCode's searching) to find where name mapping is used.
