Trace linked loads

Allows one to see where reactions from a member are linked

If you try to delete a member and it is linked, it does not allow it to be deleted; it would be nice to be able to trace the link to the other member.

An issue when dealing with many items

    Could be implemented as perhaps a radio button at the location of the load that opens the member it came from, or perhaps a button to highlight all members in the list that are parent>child of each other.

    Oh god yes! I used Forte to do a complex house project and when I had joists landing on beams on girders on columns on girders on columns on girders and finally on to the lowest-most column, with sometimes multiple iterations or test analyses, and they all link back and forth as required, it can be super confusing to track down all the links.
