Access CC Library Assets via Script

The ability to access assets from a classic ID library and place them on the artboard via script works great. It would be even better if these functionalities are also possible with CC libraries. This move would push more developers to the cloud environment of Adobe in my opinion.

Currently there are some cloud-related methods like 'placeCloudAsset' and 'setCloudLibraryCollection' listed inside the ID-DOM but these seem to be for internal use only.

Now that there are "cloud links" in InDesign, the lack of access became much more problematic.

There _needs_ to be a way to access links.

We are highly dependent on placing assets from different libraries via AppleScript. This is currently holding up development not beeing able to do it from CC Libraries. CC Libraries were also one of the reasons we upgraded all of our licenses to Creative Cloud subscriptions.

I agree, it would be great.

This is super important. It's holding up deployment for a client with a very large number of licences.
