Broadcast Feature (show senders/receivers?) [READ FULL OP]

So, does anyone remember back in 2.0 where you could right click on a broadcast block, there would be an option that said something like, “Show senders” and “show receivers”? Then when you clicked on it it would highlight all the sprites that broadcasted the message in the dropdown or received the message that was in the dropdown.
Now, they removed this in 3.0, and I suggest they add it back. I am also suggesting they add back the feature to delete and rename broadcasts.

Mock-up by @PkmnQ:


Edit: It was said by a Scratch team member here that it would be added back in the future.

Support. Sometimes, I look in big projects to see how they work, but I can't see where the broadcast goes to. This would help remixing also, because then you would find wherever the broadcast block is broadcasting to instead of having to look in all the sprites and stage to find it.

Support, would definitely help to understand how certain projects / codes work.

Support! This feature is very helpful for making edits to broadcasts.

Support. It comes in handy sometimes when you want to figure out why some random sprite does some random thing. Then you can figure out if the sprite receives the broadcast.

I am working on a mock-up
support. it could be good where you need to see where a message ends up in making games and that

should i have snipped the OP?

I mean, you did not really have to quote it in the first place…

Support, but there was also the option to delete or rename a broadcast in 2.0, from what I recall.
So those should be re-added, as well.
