Not in Interface Builder 3.3.2.
The only workaround, when you just can't find something, is to search the .xib file using a text editor such as BBEdit. Usually, a binding's name is used 3 times in an "IBConnectionRecord" element. In that same element, look for the "source" and "destination" values – they'll be 9-10 digit decimal numbers. Then search the file again for those numbers, and then in these "source" and "destination" elements you'll usually get enough clues to "Aha!" the problem.
It's tedious and very annoying. I'm hoping that maybe Apple has added a "Find" in the next IB release.
Also, next time you have a question on Developer Tools, use email@hidden. Contrary to the name, they do Interface Builder over there too.
