Note that it is possible to follow linked records from the current record, either by transitioning backwards along the chain to the previous record that provided an input fund for this record ("0: fund from previous") or forwards to the next record that spent this record's output fund ("2: fund for next"). The Navigate Linked Record facility makes this easy for you.
