How to list all linked issues in JQL, please?

[Christy]

I am trying to achieve the following. 

Have list of records with issue type A where linked to many records with Issue Type B. 

Looking for JQL to list all records with Issue type B where linked to issue type A, please?

You cannot achieve that out of the box. You might have a look at an add-on app like scriptrunner. It has some nice built-in functions for JQL searches with linked issues.

Thank you for your response. Wondering if there are any workaround without any additional cost?

Well not as stated but tell me a bit more about your use case. Sometimes there are different ways to approach the goal. For example, when links are made add a label then you can query for the label. You might be able to leverage Automation to help with the solution.

Sure, for example, a record is linked by many others teams for their own tracking. In my case, I have linked these records on my issue type. Purpose is the generate MI report based on time since created. 

I am currently looking into options as 

Create link type for our departmental use and  then filter records based on my link type. 

Other options is to create labels as you mentioned. 

Just wondering if there any  other better options before my implementation.
