Locating which reports are used in Dashboards?

How can I find out if a report is being used in a dashboard, and if so, which one(s)?

Obviously, you can look at a dashboard and drill down to the underlying reports.  But our company has dozens of dashboards, each with potentially 20 separate elements.

The problem:  We're trying to delete a bunch of old, obsolete reports but are unable to delete some of them because they are tied to a dashboard somewhere.  Unfortunately, SFDC will only tell you that it's being used in a dashboard, but won't tell you WHICH dashboard(s) contains the report.  So we end up doing a lot of manual searching, which wastes time. 

Thanks for any ideas.

What you need to do is create a custom report template that joins the report and dashboard objects.
