To clarify - the report lists the articles with broken links but doesn't identify which link in the article is broken. That means theoretically I need to go into each article and check each link to see which one triggered the article's inclusion in the list.

This is so labor-intensive that it renders the broken link report essentially useless. There's clearly a broken link that the system identified which triggered the article's inclusion in the report. Why not add that broken link to the report?
