Description

Feature request

Is your feature request related to a problem?

When I'm looking at a cohort, I would like to know if that cohort is already being used somewhere as a feature flag target.

Describe alternatives you've considered

When viewing or editing an existing cohort, I'll like to see some info near the top of the page indicating whether the cohort is currently being used in any feature flags, insights, etc, with links to each place the cohort is currently being referenced.
