File with links to the same filename, when folder is moved, tries to open itself
Suppose a file X have links to file Y with the same name but in other folder. If you move the original file so Illustrator can't find Y, it then tries to open the filename in its own folder and find the file itself (X). Multiple links cause the message "the file is already opened"

I can totally reproduce the core issue. When I move the file Y and open file X, I get this message, and both choices are bad: Yes puts the file X into itself, No cancels opening. No way to open X and get a dialog to locate Y instead of forcing self-linking.
With many links in a doc locating these would be a nightmare. -
When exactly do you get the message? After locating Y manually and trying to relink? or when you have multiple copies of Y?
