Add Model Metrics for # of Models Linked by Internal & <Not Shared>

If we had a Model Metric for the number of models linked by Internal and another for those linked by <Not Shared>, we could use the Task to check how many models could be affected by updates to Shared Coordinates and which ones need to be adjusted before making updates.

Yes!
Being the "O" in AECO, we have hundreds of models that are interlinked and live.  DOP to link a new model is to link using shared coordinates, and then immediately disable sharing.  Sometimes this gets missed, and at least once, a model got moved/coords saved back, resulting in jacking up several models.
This would help us catch that sooner.

I share your pain, Mike. I always stress this when training folks at my firm, but it is an incredibly easy step to miss, and the problems it can create are significant. We work on projects with hundreds of models linked together, and checking all of them manually is a huge lift, so having easy access to that data across all models would be a game-changer.

I could be wrong, but I think that this was recently added. I'll try to find out more.
