There isn't a list, but I think the individual detail report with embedded
sources comes closest to meeting your needs.
Since sources are attached to tags and not persons, you have to be
selective about which tags you want to see on the report.
If you send the report to a word processor, you can edit it down if you like.

Hope this helps,
Allen
