The Referenced/Dependent Resources view displays
the hierarchy or dependencies for resources included in an XML
document. For DITA resources, it will only show direct references, so resources that are
indirectly referenced through keys are not presented in the hierarchy or dependencies
tree.
To see the references or dependencies for a DITA resource (maps or
topics), right-click a resource in the Project
Explorer view and either select Show referenced
resources or Show dependent resources.
If you want to view the dependencies for a media resource (such as images)
directly referenced in a DITA topic, click the
Show dependencies
for button on the toolbar of the Referenced/Dependent
Resources view, select the All files filter in the file
browser, find the particular resource, and double-click it.
