There will be a new crossreference utility in the next Erlang/OTP to be
delivered at the end of Sept
(and planned to be released as Open Source a short while later).
This tool can among other things indicate references to non existing external

warnings about apply dependencies, but it can not detect  which functions that
are actually called
