Is there a method to find or have Windchill capture the original name of a
renamed file? If we create a part, 1000307.prt with number 1000307, use it in 10
assemblies and then decide to use the vendor's name. We rename 1000307.prt to
loc-246.prt with number LOC-246. The assemblies will load loc-246 instead of
1000307, so that is good. Now management wants to see which parts used 1000307.
As far as I can tell and get from Windchill is nothing if I search on 1000307.
If I know that the new number is loc-246, I can get the where used and show the
assemblies, but still no reference exists between 1000307 and loc-246. Is there
a table in Windchill that might have this information?
You should be able to find the original name in the Rename History table (see attachment).

It's very long and collect a lot of things I found here in the exploder, in the Community and also article from Tech Support.
Hope you can find it useful.
