Add 'Relink image' in the right click (contextual) menu
would speed up productivity when replacing multiple linked images by allowing users to control-click or right-click on an image to relink files, rather than going to the menu bar every time.

I can't believe it took me three decades of using Illustrator to realize that this very obvious, VERY easy to implement feature isn't there. It is patently absurd to force the user to visit the Links panel for this. I also agree with another poster that this should be a secondary use for the Place command; if you have a linked file selected when you do that, it assumes you're wanting to replace, not add.

Why do we not have a relink option in the right-click menu when an image is selected? How did this ever get by y'all?

I would like to direct select a placed image/cloud library item and right click and Relink the item direct from the mouse context menu.
Right now I have to click it, then move my mouse to the top bar or links window. LAME! 😜
