Ahem. Was late at night :) Let me give it another try.

Org files are full of links inserted with `org-store-link'. This links
point to e-mail, webpages, files, dirs, info pages, man pages, etc.
Actually, they come from potentially *everywhere* since Org lets you
define your own storing/following functions.

So, what if you are on a e-mail, webpage or whatever and want to know if
this buffer has already been linked to somewhere in your agenda files?

Then org-registry-show will tell you where this location has been
linked.

Hope this is clearer like this, I have updated the commentary in the
source code.

I've no time for this right now but I will in the future. One particular
case where that would be useful is when you want to check whether a link
lives in *several* agenda files and want to see all of them.
