  I thought it would be a cool idea to have the option that when you delete media (images/video, etc) from you media library, if a post is using that image/video etc it would remove it from the post also. Else your left with a square with ‘?’ in it.

  cheers,

  If you remove the sources from the media library, then the links in the posts have no place to link to. Browsers are not that smart. If the browser thinks a link should be there but it’s missing it will give you a ? or the red X.

  It still has a link to a dead reference – so in affect could’nt you ‘validate’ a post for the live links and remove them if they dont work. Im not talking about the browser, im talking about the post and validating it for links that work – if they dont anymore remove them.
