This is finally available in Beta 30.6.0.75
When you replace a linked image in Illustrator, you can now choose to apply that change everywhere the image appears in your file (even across multiple artboards and repeated layouts).
How in works:
- Select one or more links in the Links panel and click Relink
- In the file picker, note the 'Replace:' dropdown below the options
- Choose 'All Links (N)' to replace every instance of that file in the document
- Choose 'Selected Links (N)' to replace only the instances you selected
- Pick the replacement file and click Place
Try it and leave a comment if it works and it works like you need it to.
Also, please don’t forget to upvote this request if you are interested — Display copies of links' duplicates as instances, like in InDesign

it is TRULY unacceptable that this isn't already included in AI. Ridiculous. I'm going to spend an hour relinking each file one-by-one because I needed to move my image files around?

C'mon, seriously Adobe. Do you use your software AT ALL? All evidence points to no....This is a decade overdue. I shouldn't have to have a degree in CS to write a script to relink multiple files at once! TRULY UNACCEPTABLE. DO BETTER.
