Query for tasks without links?

Situation
RTC4.0.6
We do a work breakdown structure e.g. via one Story and two children Tasks. The SW deliveries (changesets) will be linked to the Tasks.

Sometimes it happens that developers just create Tasks (without connection to Stories or any other high level planning element) to be able to deliver their changesets.

Complication
We can't see a solution how to track these Tasks in order to remind the users to add the links to corresponding Stories. We created queries but you can't query for links. It's only possible to display the information in the results list.


Question
Is it possible to get better usable solution for that?

you can query for links..have to make sure to select show the links in the query builder (eclipse). then you will have to set AND for all of them And flip to 'not exist' for each link type.  (viewed in eclipse, not as easy in the web ui)

so you can find workitems with and/or without links of certain types.  and u can do it in the web UI too.. just YOU have to know which attributes are links..

we used this to find workitems of specific types when we wrote the project copy migration utilities.

and on some links, using the web UI,  you can query THRU the link..
