Easy recognition of linked objects

1 Description

Lecturers working in big organizations often use ready-made content linked from a central pool that can/should not be changed.
However, looking at the content of a repository container in ILIAS, by now you have to look into the 'Info' tabs in order to see whether objects have been created by linking them from another position. IMHO, this complicated procedure is okay to find out where exactly the object is located else but it should be easier to find out whether at all it's a linked object.
Maybe this information could be provided by some additional icon or subscript only visible for those who have edit permission?

One issue to be considered is that the additional information 'This object is a linked one' has to disappear once any other instance has been deleted.

Zenzen, Enrico [ezenzen], 24 AUG 2022: This request no longer fulfills the requirements of the Feature Wiki. In consultation with the maintainer I change the status of the feature request to "Redundant / outdated". If the request is still relevant, please update template and mockups.
