I have to update the work-items of my team very often. But since my office is in a different country from the other team members, the browsing process is very inconvenient: every time I click a work-item, my Visual Studio (VS) tries to connect to the TFS server, costing me 1-2 seconds!

Select all items that have a link type of 'Related' but do not contain any link type of 'Parent', 'Child', 'Successor', 'Predecessor'. I've been able to do one or...
