Is there an API to find cross-listed sections of the original course?
When we make a call to "/api/v1/courses/{courseId}?include[]=sections" it returns only the current sections that the course has. Not the ones tied to itself initially and then cross-listed to another course.
The section itself knows the original course that it is originally part of(nonxlist_course_id). However, I am more curious about whether is there a way the original course can know that.
If I need to explain it with an example; say there is course A and B and course A has a section named X. When we cross-list section X to course B, course A lose track of section X. From now on, only section X knows that it was originally part of the course A. I need to know if course A can know that section X was part of course A initially.
