I wonder why you cannot see the dependencies via the 'View Dependencies' dialog because it works perfectly fine for me. Nevertheless you can query the 'sys.sql_expression_dependencies' system view and obtain the dependency information that you want.

FROM sys.sql_expression_dependencies 
WHERE referenced_id = OBJECT_ID('XXX')

You can of course project other information that you might need.
