Not possible to get related items to re-index after removing an item

[Gleb-Itenberg]

In some cases, it is necessary to re-index related items when a web page or content item is updated or deleted.
Currently, this works correctly for updates. However, it is not possible to retrieve related items on deletion - the Kentico ContentQueryExecutor with the Linking method returns an empty collection in this scenario.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create a content(or web page) type
2. Add a field for selecting related items.
3. Create an item of newly created type and select a related item
4. Delete the selected related item.
5. Try to call ContentQueryExecutor like this ContentItemQueryBuilder().ForContentType(type,
   config=>config.Linking(filedName, new []{linkinId}))

Expected behavior
It would be helpful if the IIndexEventItemModel provided a collection of related item IDs (and possibly their types) during deletion events.

Hi @Gleb-Itenberg ,

could you please specify further your current Xperience/Kentico version and version of the Lucene Library Version you are using?

Thank you.

@giorgioLUK library version 13.0.2, XbyK 30.9.2

After analyzing the issue we found out there is no easy fix. New event handler would have to be added to process 'before delete' action. We will process this as feature request.
