Expand “Find all uses” for columns to include server-side workflows

"Find all uses” of a column is an essential tool to safely refactor apps — but it currently ignores server-side workflows (scheduled, webhook, email, Slack, manual).

As a result, developers can unknowingly break workflows or functionality by changing or deleting a column that’s still being used there.

Proposal: Extend “Find all uses” to also scan all server-side workflows, so developers have full visibility into every dependency that references a column across the app.
