Is there a way to query for all issues with a particular link type?

For example, let there be a dependency link where an issue can "depends on" another issue. Is there a query to find all issues that depend on some other issue (aka. all issues with the "depends on" link)?

I know there is the linkedIssues (key, linkType) function that returns the key of all issues that have the linkType with the issue with key. I want to find all issues with a linkType with any issue.

Thanks!

You can use Script Runner plugin - Edit: It unfortunately is no longer free. The last version before 4.0 still is, though. Details here https://www.adaptavist.com/doco/display/SFJ/Downgrade+ScriptRunner

It sports a ton of incredibly useful functions, one of these is hasLinks()

Usage example:

issueFunction in hasLinks("blocks") OR issueFunction in hasLinks("is blocked by")
