linkedIssues() is fine if you know what issues to check links to, but if like us, you want to be able to see any issues that have been assigned to you that are blocking someone else from completing one of their issues, then it cannot be done.

I want to be able to do something like:
(status = Open OR status = Reopened) AND assignee = currentUser() AND issue in linkedIssues((status = Open or status = Reopened) and link = blocks) ORDER BY priority DESC, created ASC

"tell me which items i have open that block other issues that are open"
