help to identify the occurence of a string - translation related

I am in some discussions regarding some variations about the translation of this string
"Link/Unlink item"
and need to know the context where it occurs. My problem is that I am not able to find it in normal usage. Where / when does this string appear ?

In gimp.gimp-2-6.pot file the string is surrounded by these other strings, perhaps somewhat related:
...
Selection mask
Item visibility
Link/Unlink item
Item properties
Move item
Scale item
Resize item
Add layer
...

Thank you,
Cristi

I _guess_ it is (was?) a tooltip for the chain icon in the layers dialog where layers can be linked together. And I'm pretty sure that is what it means.

I hope this helped, Daniel

It shows up in the Undo History if a layer or path is linked/unlinked.

In such a case it may help to look at the message catalog from trunk. There we introduced a lot of translation context:

msgctxt "undo-type" msgid "Link/Unlink item"
