Problem/Motivation

In the usage page we show labels of entities that reference other entities.
For this we are special-casing paragraphs because they normally indicate their parent's labels. In some circumstances, paragraphs can return empty labels, and when we encounter that, we are just skipping the row altogether, instead of showing a row with an empty label. (#2954039: Fix ::label() logic and add a ParagraphInterface::getOrphanStatus() helper will likely solve the "empty" label in paragraphs, at some point)

We could see how to better generalize this situation. Maybe other entities referencing target entities could also return an empty label, and would also need some sort of fallback.

Proposed resolution

Investigate how we could have a better fallback for source entities that don't have a label, when showing usages on the list usage page.

Remaining tasks

User interface changes

API changes

Data model changes

For visibility, we might end up marking this as won't-fix in the 2.x branch, since in a theoretical 3.x branch being cooked in #3060802: Refactor module architecture in a simpler, opinionated and more performant approach this wouldn't be an issue anymore.

This would be lovely to fix. lol - I thought this was update the labels of the entity types on the entity usage settings page... back to searching this issue queue for existing issues.
