Q: Albums within Photos app

Is there a way to search Photos to find all Albums a single photo may be in? I am scanning and importing a family library of photos; then I'm organizing them into Albums, which might be like moments if they had the original dates on them. Sometimes, I want to make sure I don't have a single photo in multiple Albums...is there a way to search to find which Albums a photo might be in?

Imac, Mac OS X (10.5.6)

that is not a feature of Photos - there is a user supplied script to do that -- How to find out the albums a photo is in: Jacques Rioux's script -- and Old Toad has compiled it into an application -- http://www.oldtoadstutorials.net/No.P01.html
