Link and re-link resource folder

I know there are aliases   but wouldn't it be much more convenient to just link and re-link resource folder ?   Not each bitmap one by one but just folder.   Same way evry 3d package does.

Those aliases make me problems.  I have a huge list of them .   If I want to  do just new texture  version  using  new set of bitmaps  exported  from another sbs  I have to relink the alias  and  figure out which one  exactly.   It turns to the total mess so quickly.      Please do it standard way  where we could just re-linlk the folder.
