Linked images within a photomontage

My work involves creating hyper realistic renders and part of that involves creating photomontages of an existing view. Within the process, some of the existing frames within a photomontage need to be updated or changed completely. In order to update a photomontage currently, a whole new photomontage will need to be automated to include the updated frames.

Photoshop tends to not stitch the images together exactly the same way as previous versions, even the unchanged frames, which causes some confusion with our clients on occasion. It would be good if photoshop could link the images used in a photomontage so that if one of the frames needs adjusting, all that would be required is to update the link within the photomontage rather than having to automate an entirely new photomontage. 

Thanks
