Quite a lot of my purchases come from hunting down interesting things I see on other products. I've spent countless hours looking for a specific hair, or prop, or what ever else caught my eye in a promo image that never got listed. Shout out to those sweet vendors who diligently list products used in their promos. Secret: I migrate toward vendors who put forth this extra effort. With this professional courtesy shown, it could be presumed that they apply the same effort in thier own products.
Almost sure the product in your image is:

Thank you very very much for both the great hint and the link
Using Chrome, you can right-click on an image and select 'Search image using Google Lens'. This will find URL's containing the image, or similar ones. I just helped another member find soccer uniforms and shoes using this simple technique.
On the OP's key point, I'd also like to see more vendors list the products they used in promos. There are surely a lot of potential buyers out there who are attracted by a 'look' rather than the seller's unadorned product. If you want me to buy your character, tell me where I can get the hair and the costume. However, I can also see a difficulty in that, like film credits, where do you draw the line? Do you credit the creator of the pose, or the scenery, or... you get the idea.
On a practical note, I'd like to see Daz introduce an (opt-in) arrangement for vendors to resell featured products, taking a cut for so doing. If a vendor sells a character plus hair plus costume, that's a five-way win if you include the customer and Daz themselves.
Sometimes the assets used in images are from other sites like Renderosity. I don't know whether Daz wants to send business to other sites.
Ultimately, this always boils down to
creators don't always create their own promos so they don't necessarily know
the promo creator may have 10's of thousands of assets, chooses them by appearance, and most don't keep around a spreadsheet to record every asset when they are creating scores of promos
and the asset may be from another store (under no condition, will that be listed), completely unavailable, or kitbashed
Yes, I would like that too, but if you search the forums you will find countless posts showing why this is neither practical nor even possible. :)
This has always been a pet peeve of mine as well.
Moved to the Commons as it is not a Daz Studio topic.
Which is completely understandable. If content listing was to be a regular thing, it could always boil down to links to Daz content, followed by "Content from other sites used." That way, people would know to look elsewhere without giving direct links to it. I mean, if folks want a product enough, they're going to find it eventually, whatever site it's on.
Several years ago this was the norm. If it was possible before, I don't understand why it isn't possible now. And if you advertize someone else's stuff, they will be include to advertize your stuff and everybody gets more exposure.
I don't remember it being the norm here. You have some that do and some that don't. PAs have mentioned time and time again the reasons why some do and some don't every time this comes up. One thing I do see is promo images becoming more detailed than before, which would explain not having the time to do it, especially if the PA isn't the one doing the promo images.
Funny, I don't mind helping a user find a clothing item, hair or prop, but the other day a new user asked for a character ID and even posted they didn't feel like looking thru the store, which really motivates me to help....not.
