Closing this as Outdated as Drupal 7 is EOL.
Hopefully I can explain this well. If anyone needs more detail, or knows of a way I can do this already, feel free to comment!
Example:
I create a new node on my site and I want this node to redirect to another URL that exists on a different 3rd party website that I do not control. This is easily accomplished with the redirect module. By creating the node, and then manually adding the redirect to the external website. However, the node edit page only displays redirect URLs pointing TO the node I am editing. It does not display the single redirect that might exist FROM that node.
Motivation/Use Case Example:
I have a content type called "Release". This is used to post important statements released by government bureaus on my website. I also have a view page that displays of all the Releases, in order by date, and organized by specific tagging applied to the releases.
Most of the time a Release is created by a bureau that uses my Drupal site so the node exists on my server and clicking on it from the view list would bring you to the node level page with the details of that release. (Normal behavior) However, sometimes, a Release comes from another website, for example whitehouse.gov. For this situation I want this White House release to display on my view page, in the proper date order, with the proper tagging I need, sandwiched right within the list of other releases in the view.
Example View listing page:
Releases about the Conflict in South Sudan
node/1 - A Release that exists on my website
node/2 - A Release that exists on my website
node/3 - A Release placeholder node (Tagged with South Sudan so it shows in this view) that when clicked links to the REAL release over on whitehouse.gov
node/4 - A release that exists on my website
node/5 - A release that exists on my website
I have no problem creating this redirect and the redirect works great, just like I want it to. The release shows up on my view page, sandwiched right where I want it to be. The only little issue I have is when I edit node/3 (my placeholder node) and I look at the redirect tab it says "No redirects". Which is not exactly true because it does have a redirect from itself to whitehouse.gov.
My redirect out to the White House for node/3 shows up as expected on the "admin/config/search/redirect" listing page. It's just missing that little bit of information on the node edit page.
I am going to see if I can write something to add this additional bit of information to the node edit page. I know this situation is probably not one that most other users need, but the redirect module already supports using it in this way, it's just missing that small bit of info! The node edit page should show all redirects TO and FROM the node you are on.

It's likely this issue predates Contrib.social: some issue and comment data are missing.
