Similar to the feature that map downloads have*, have a feature on all model/texture or w/e resource pages, to look up all maps that a given download file is used in (or other non-map resources, if that's a thing).
Same motivation as for the existing map --> assets lookup feature. Saves you from having to download the model or texture just to re-upload it to the asset scanner, especially if you might just delete it from your computer afterwards and are just exploring and don't want to get a rating reminder notification in a couple days just from that if you decide not to use that particular resource.
The big reason I want this is that, just like Google uses (or used to use) a "similarity" or "popularity" rating based on backlinks or w/e, I like to find resources that are in a sense related to or thematically similar to "resource A" by exploring other resources (B) that are also used by maps that include "resource A" - but in order to do that currently, first I need to find such maps by downloading and re-uploading "resource A."
I see Ralle made a similar suggestion a few years ago, but it was just for resource authors.
*Currently, maps show this feature:
But models and other resources don't have the opposite:
