i think i misunderstood.
the field is visible in mount pages.
the field is used in special doktypes, e.g. directmail

good question. e.g. having filled shortcut you never see that if switched to 
other doktypes.
Maybe a warning should be displayed, e.g.:
Page has shortcut value     [clear value]
Content is used from page xxx  [clear value]
