Improve Link Panel functionality
It would be useful if we could right click an image in the Link panel and change the color mode from RGB to CMYK withough having to go into Photoshop before hand.

Relative Link Paths for InDesign
At this company we work in teams on many project simultaneously along with a massive server of shared assets. Talking to my colleagues in other companies this is quite a common thing these days. We mostly work off of InDesign for the majority of our projects. As InDesign uses linked files for composition/layout, we keep our server organized. All IDD files are worked from directly off of our server, no files are stored on any person's computer locally.
We don't need to package everything (only rarely, for sharing to external entities) because all of the content already exists on…

Allow for selecting a set of Links for relinking, not just parent link or individual link
Looking to perform "Select Multiple Link Replacement”
Right now I can Re Link Parent Link (of ALL Instances) and change 1000 instances of an image.
Right Now I can Relink ONE individual “Child” instance or ONE image at a time.
But I cannot SELECT and RELINK Multiple Selected Links (example: 10 out of the 1000) SELECT instances of an image.
The only way to presently do this is to highlight the 10 instances and then Relink them one by one where a dialogue box opens and requires me to repeat the …

In Indesign interactive PDF buttons set link destination options for opening the url
In Indesign interactive PDF buttons set link destination options for opening the url
like blank page, self etc...just like in html is possible.
So when you view a interactive PDF online and you click on a link the destination opens in a new window or tab, just like you selected in Indesign. And not only in the window you are viewing.

link objects, like link layers in photoshop
in photoshop, we can "link" the layers to select and edit linked layers at the same time while maintaining the order of the layers.
(https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/selecting-grouping-linking-layers.html)
When creating images such as attachments, I can't group them(paperclip) because I'm afraid the order will change. link feature such as photoshop(link layers) will be very useful in this situation..1 vote -
Increase Search toolbar for link
Please improve the SEARCH BOX for the link window.
When I need to relink a missing object, the window that open have a very small search box. It should be more big, maybe twice the actual size. Thanks5 votes -

Drag text to library and create a link
When I drag
n
drop a text to the library-panel there is is NO link betrween the textframe and the library-item.
I have to delet the textframe and drag´n´dop it back to the document to create a link.Is that smart?
I wish I could drag a text to the library and create a link in one step.

External link to a specific point of a Publish Online document
Can we get a way to link directly to a text anchor, hyperlink destination, page # etc from an external source?
For example: I'd like to publish product documentation using Publish Online, and it would be nice to be able to link to a page or text anchor from a help document that would take someone to a specific point (i.e. a connection diagram).

Link to a Specific Page in external PDF File saved on the local disc -> choose between relative/absolute link
It would be nice to have an option to open external file (pdf) saved on the local disc/folder on the specific page - the same way as url link ('#page=xx'). And it's also necessary to have an option select between relative/absolute link. If the file is distributed and the parent directory gets changed, it has to be still able to use the relative link (of course in case the original structure has not been changed).

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.

The ability to link Excel Charts and Graphs within InDesign
Link directly to charts and graph content which can be refreshed by updating the Excel link. I often use the ability to link data and tables, but really need to be able to do the same with charts and graphs. Thanks.

Ability to copy link name only from links panel, as additional option to 'copy platform style path' 'full user path' etc.
I often copy links from one spread to another document and then need to search for the link on a a media archive for a client. It would be really helpful to be able to just copy the link name alone, through right clicking the link in the links panel (even better, without extension!) for searching purposes. This would also be helpful when searching your machine or a server for a missing link.
The only time I use this function is when searching elsewhere for an image / link, and therefore need to use one of…

Change link names from links palette
Sometimes we link to Illustrator or Photoshop files in a Guidelines document, which is a reference to that file as an asset, eg a logo.
When lots of files are used in this way we often only then see that our files (links) are not names consistently. If we change the filename, then we have to relink everything.
If we could simply rename the linked files from within the Links palette it would save a lot of time and frustration.
This option could be dangerous for larger workgroups, but any suggestions would be appreciated.3 votes
