Add Feature for Element Manager to Display Where Widgets are Used #29996

I like the Element Manager where you can see all the widgets that are being in use by clicking the 'Show' button. However, it would be nice to have an extra column to show what page()s is using a particular widget. I have 2 third-party plugins displaying widgets that are in use, but I want to replace them with the core Elementor Pro widgets. If I know where to find which pages using those widgets I can avoid scanning through several dozens (or more) pages and find them quicker via the 'Show'. For that new column to display the list of pages, best to have a button that will popup the list. The only thing is has to show is the 'slug' name of the page. Your thoughts are appreciated. |

Prerequisites
What problem is your feature request going to solve? Please describe..
It will help users find which page(s) each widget appears on.
Describe the solution you'd like.
Create a new column showing the list of pages found used by each widget where a dropdown or link to a popup listing the pages. The list will display the 'slug' name only for each of the pages.
Describe alternatives you've considered.
The feature should not load until the user clicks on the 'Show' button for the first time. Ideal placement of the 'pages' list might be best located between the 'Plugins' and 'Permission' columns.
Additional context
While I am able to determine how many times each widget are being used, it would be great if you could add a new column that list the pages related for widget. For example:
I have a Video widget and it shows it is being used 12 times. In a new column, either with a drop down or button listing, it will display the pages that are using the widget. The result might be 3 pages each having 4 Video widget.
The benefit here is that allows site developers to quickly find which pages are using the widget(s). I have 3 third-party plugins for Elementor that I like to move away from which will be replaced with Elementor Pro widgets. Finding them quickly would help especially if you have a lot of pages or blog posts.
