Relink image Make fast.
Can you make it possible to create a shortcut for Relink Image? If you can make it, it's good for me.

Yes, Illustrator does not allow to directly assign a hotkey for the Relink operation.
The intended way is to assign a hotkey to File > Place command, but there is no way to automatically enable the Replace option in the Place dialog. There is no way to quickly toggle it from the keyboard with Alt+C, since it got assigned to Open Cloud Document now (yes, two command to one key, which is most probably an oversight).Another solution would be to use a script:
https://github.com/dumbm1/ai_scripts/blob/master/jsx/fast_relink.jsx
Originally designed to quickly replace all selected images with one file, it can be also used on a single selected image.
Once the script is placed into a dedicated Scripts folder i Illustrator folder (and relaunched), you can create an action, record using this script from the File > Scripts, and then assign a hotkey to the script. Please try it and reply back.
