The ability to see a list of web maps that a feature layer is included in would be helpful in several ways. One case would be when cleaning up / deleting data. For example, if you wanted to delete a feature layer it would be helpful to know if it was currently being used in a web map. Otherwise, it would get deleted and you may not realize that your public facing web map now has a missing data source for a layer.
This information could be in the overview or in the usage tab. I imagine that there is a way to get a list using the REST API, and there is definitely a way in python. But I think this would be helpful often enough to justify having a quicker/more user-friendly way to get the list.
This would be a fantastic addition to both Online & Enterprise, my team always has to check this info during maintenance and few of us know the API well enough to avoid cracking maps open and enumerating the layers by hand.

It would be great if ArcGIS Online had this functionality built into it.
I havn't touched this script in a while; it has worked for me before.
FYI: I think it could fail if you renamed a layer in a webmap.
