Show Linked Files Support for Illustrator Files

Links in Illustrator .ai files are not surfaced in Bridge like they are for .indd and .psd files. It seems Illustrator link support is missing or broken. I would like to be able to see in Bridge that an .ai file has links and then be able to use the "Show Linked Files" Bridge context menu item.

 

Illustrator links are stored in the "Manifest Reference File Path" metadata, while InDesign and Photoshop use this key: "Ingredients File Path" Perhaps Bridge could read both keys when Showing Linked FIles.
