To keep Power BI ecosystem clean we try to push shared cloud connections, to remove duplicated connections and to remove useless connections.
The actual Power BI connections portal doesn't give any clue on the number of models/dataflows relying on a connection.
Therefore we need to go back and forth between artifact page and connection page in order to understand what is used and where.
having a column that states how many time a particular connection is used could be helpful to identify useless connections.
even better, that counter could be a link to a list of all the artifacts and each artifact is a link to the artifact's settings itself.
connections management could improve a lot in my opinion.

This is essential for administration of data gateway connections.
I'm currently unable to delete a number of data gateway connections as there's no way to tell if they're being used or not.
Instead I have to trawl through each workspace and each dataset in the system to check
Or else I have to leverage something like Power Automate to repeat this action for me.
