Wow! No, probably not. I don't scan macros or other plugins.

I only have 1 recommendation right now and it's super simple: look at formula references to find interesting cells then check for a label to the left.

It's all heuristics and easily broken. It doesn't need to be perfect to help though.

Sidenote: I can't believe excel formulas are Turing complete now! Excel is truly a beast!

Use to be some humor about excel being limited to cells, because [1] hypercards were copyrighted. Might be confusing that with [2] Hypernews / [3] vipercard though.

Complexity/cost not withstanding, visually merging snapshot of program(s)s done in [4] and visually 'linting" in relevent documentation/comments as a real time AR overlay might be more interesting.
