Fast Asset Dependency is a lightweight Unity Editor extension that helps you quickly explore asset dependencies (what an asset uses, and who uses it).Unlike full-project indexers, this tool works on-demand and scans only your project assets — giving you instant and accurate results without heavy caching.Features------------------Find References To: See which assets your selected file depends on.Find Referenced By: Discover which assets in your project reference the selected file.Fast, Cache-Free: No heavy indexing; works directly on asset files.Scope Control: Limit search to selected folders or scan entire Assets/.Clear UI: Dependencies are shown with asset icons and colored labels.How It Works-----------* References To: Uses AssetDatabase.GetDependencies to find outgoing links.* Referenced By: Scans textual assets (.prefab, .unity, .mat, .anim, .controller, .asset, etc.) and finds where the GUID is used.This dual approach is fast and avoids the overhead of building a permanent dependency cache.Limitations-----------* Only direct references are shown. (Transitive chains require recursive scan for References To.)* Works on YAML/text-based assets. Binary-only references may not be detected.* String-based loads (Resources.Load("name"), Addressables keys/labels) are not detected.* Deleted or broken GUIDs in YAML will still appear as broken links.
