Relink Multiple images "UPDATE ALL"

There are 117 images that can be on this page. In my example, I show eight images, which I would like to be able to change all of the images to a different image in one or two strokes. Currently I go to the links window, and select all of the images in the panel. I've been select the link button at the bottom of the window and the file window appears at which time I select my new image and it updates the document. Unfortunately, in the case of this document, in order to change the image I and presented with the file window up to 117 times (in the case of this document) to select an image to replace.

 

Is it possible to just select all of my images in the links window and then be able to select an image within the file window and have it update all of the images in my file without having to go one by one which is extremely time-consuming and irritating. Any help would be appreciated. See photo below, for example.

there might be different ways of doing that.

 

close your file, go to the folder where the link is located, rename it or move it to another folder, place your replacement image in the same folder, rename it with the name of the previous image, re open your file, all image shoud be replaced.
