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

Someone mentioned once you have your file how you want it to save it then move the images to another folder to "confuse" Illustrator then it will let you update all links. That is just not possible when you are sharing a server across a company. They really just need to make it like InDesign where:
A) it just remembers
or
2) you have import options
or
iii) you can relink via a folder you know everything is in, whether it is many instances of one link or many different links
