FWIW,  
I would like to know where on the project a `Tag` being use.

As we all do, we use script or indirect binding to come up with the Tag Path.

Is there a way to determine on which view Tag Path may show up?

Ignition has a tag reference tracker that can do this. You may need to enable it on your tag provider(s).

Use the Tag Report Tool. Very handy.

That isn't the tag reference tracker, but yes, handy.

This won't show dynamic usages whereas the tag tracker will, **over time** , since it logs usage over time

Was not aware of this Tracker, but I am going to use it now.
