Update links automatically
Currently, when I want to update an image link that has moved, I copy the name of the image to be linked, then "update link" and paste the name of the link in the search field to find all instances on my system. This should be automatized with a function like "search and update" that allows you to then choose which version of the link you'd like (in case of duplicate names). As far as I know this doesn't exist yet.

Yes! Just like there is an option for "Update All Cross References." The new "Update all Links" feature should be in the Book panel. There should be a dialog box where you can choose to ignore options or show options.

Yes please. When it's a group of the same links (more than one same link), you have to right-klick on a different place to copy the name. It's very circuitous and should be much more easier (refresh all missing links in one step and Indesign will automatically search for the name on my hard-disk (intern or extern)! If I have 100 missing links that would be save a lot of time …
