Finding which template a custom block is using

I am trying to figure out which template the following block is using to generate custom links. How would I know which template it is when there is no template path defined for the block? Thanks for any pointers!

<block type="page/template_links" name="top.links.custom" as="topLinksCustom">

The template is page/template/links.phtml.
Usually when a block does not have a template specified in the layout file, it's either a core/text block that does not use a template or the template is specified in the block constructor. If you take a look at Mage_Page_Block_Template_Links::_construct you should see this:

protected function _construct()
{
    $this->setTemplate('page/template/links.phtml');
}

This is the template you are looking for.
And other easy way would be to turn on the template path hints.
