Link Media window: allow "Match File Properties" to influence "display exact name" in search

In an Offfline workflow it's common to edit with low file size proxies of a diferent file type, then for finishing reconnect to the camera originals. Premiere is able to do this with one issue: In the Link Media window, when you seach for a file with "display exact name" checked, it will not find the file if the file extension is diferent. So... you have to navigate to the file yourself, select it, and premiere will reconnect to the file and it will also "relinik other automatically" however only those files in the same bin. This is the issue. If you have a lot of footage nested in bins per card which are also in bins per shoot day, you have to reconnect each bin individually.

In contrast, if the file name and extension is the same, you can simply search the top level folder and premiere will find the file, then when it attempts to "relink other automatically", it will successfully relink all your media because it is looking from the root folder of all your footage.

But because the extension is not the same and I can't find my camera media in the search, I have to do each bin at a time (can be very time consuming)

Possible to add a toggle in the UI which is something like "ignore file extension" when searching for a file with the "exact" same name?
