list of tiddlers using a macro

Something like this could help (not really tested, make a backup first!) – this is from an older example I adapted for you:
Make a tiddler titled "todoMacroList" with this in it:
<$vars start="""<<todo""" end=""">>""">
<ul>
<$list filter="""[regexp:text<start>sort[]] -[[todoMacroList]] -[has[draft.of]]""">
<$link to=<<currentTiddler>>><<currentTiddler>></$link>
<$macrocall $name=extract start=<<start>> end=<<end>> limit="no" prefix="<li>" suffix="</li>">
</$list>
</ul>
</$vars>
===
You will need my extract macro for this:

Good luck!

Interesting you ask this. As a matter of practice writing macros I have started adding to tiddlers fields the following where a macro is defined
Field macro-macroname with the value containing the parameters in an example of using the macro.
We could also document the use of a macro with a field macrouse-macroname. The field value could document special use cases.
It is somewhat manual to do this however it could help while designing. You could also enhance a search to also create such fields when the macro is found.
I am tempted to document others macros this way. We can then use a field filter like has:field[macro-macroname] to locate there definition and parameters. Or use prefix[macrouse-macroname] to locate tiddlers using the macro.
Just some thoughts
