1. CC2019: Can't update or relink a link when a document is opened by a script.

   A fault introduced in CC2019: can't update or relink a link when a document is opened by a script.

   Steps to reproduce:

   1. To verify that with an existing open document the problem does not occur: a. Start a new InDesign document b. Place a graphic on the first page c. Run this script:

   app.documents[0].links[0].update();

   No error occurs.

   1. To reproduce the error: a. Save the document created in step 1 and close it. b. Run this script:

   s = '/d/test/links.indd'; // Use your string
   app.open (File(s));
   app.documents[0].links[0].update();

   Expected result: The links should be updated.
   Actual result: "Error: This file is already open by another user or another application. This file may be stored on a network server and cannot be opened until the other user closes it."

   Note 1: It doesn't matter that in this example the link doesn't actually need updating. The result is the same with out-of-date links.

   Note 2: The problem is not confined to update(): it also occurs when you relink a link.
