Global way to change links in window

I have two windows. They are almost exactly the same. The primary difference is that each reference a different file. The file structures are identical. Is there any way to change the fields that each control is linked to globally, rather than going into each control description and changing the link.

Find/Replace does not allow changes on links and neither does the browser pane.

What I want to do is change all links from file1.fieldname to file2.fieldname (where the fieldname portion is the same for both windows).

Hi,

I once made a request for such a feature, but I guess it is not spectacular enough for the brochure.
What I do is set one link to the new file, the last in the file description.
Then I apply F4 on all the edit controls, so they have the same link and change them one by one to the right item, without having to scroll too much.

Kind regards,
Piet

Hello Donald

Is it worth having a look at the ..linkedfile attribute and then combined with a couple of planes and some logic you might be able to use one window for the whole thing.
