If you need to update the link on an InDesign document you have to manually go into the folder system and find the link, so it is only ever effective when you have all the links in one folder. This is detrimental to saving space in a workplace where you may want to use the same asset in different types of publications. In the Maya application from AutoDesk you can instead manually edit the text for the filepath, or even, change it to absolutes like $user$ which makes it far easier for sharing projects. Please can you enable this feature?
