Get Page url on block types - episerver

Question

I am working on generating a report in episerver in the form of a scheduled job.This report is basically used to get all the contents(page types,blocks,media) within Episerver.
There are some good nuget packages for content usages but for some reason& to have more control & plans for tweeking & extending it further,i am creating a custom one rather than using the available 3rd party packages.
The scheduled job is kind of similar to
https://www.codeart.dk/blog/2018/12/content-report-generator/ .
The article helped me a lot to get my report working with some modifications as per my requirement.
The one thing that I am struggling here is to get the URL of where the block is. Now this is a point of debate here.
I am aware that the blocks being shared in nature can be used anywhere in a site but the point is they are still used in pages or as a matter of fact in other blocks which is turn is used on a page.What i am trying to say here is,they directly or indirectly are part of a page.So is there a way to get the page url of a block irrespective of how many pages they are in.
Every forum I have looked at ,there's always page url of Pagedata or mediadata & nothing on blockdata.Even 3rd party nuget packages that i have looked for does not have page url for block types.
I do understand that there is nothing out of the box here.Is there a way to achieve this ie get the page url of a specific block type which can be a list of page urls if the block is used in multiple pages.
Recursive function to reach the page:
private string GetPublicUrl(IContentRepository contentRepository, IContentSoftLinkRepository contentSoftLinkRepository, ContentReference contentReference)
{
var publicUrl = string.Empty;
var content = contentRepository.Get<IContent>(contentReference);
var referencingContentLinks = contentSoftLinkRepository.Load(content.ContentLink, true)
.Where(link => link.SoftLinkType == ReferenceType.PageLinkReference && !ContentReference.IsNullOrEmpty(link.OwnerContentLink))
.Select(link => link.OwnerContentLink);
foreach (var referencingContentLink in referencingContentLinks)
{
publicUrl = UrlResolver.Current.GetUrl(referencingContentLink.GetPublicUrl()) ?? GetPublicUrl(contentRepository, contentSoftLinkRepository, referencingContentLink);
}
return publicUrl;
}
I have written this recursive function to reach the page ,but this works only when there is a single level. For instance A 2Col block on a page.
If I have a block say Download Block which is on a 2Col block which in turn is on a page ,then in this case the url is empty.
Any input is appreciated.

With IContentSoftLinkRepository you can find where the blocks are used. You can check whether the SoftLink points to a page with SoftLink.SoftLinkType == PageLinkReference and then use IUrlResolver to get the page's URL.
