Automating relinking renamed images in InDesign

I currently have a script that renames files and outputs a before-and-after text file, (e.g. origFilename.tif ==> newFilename.tif) to act as a guide to help manually relink said files in a document. Is there a way to automate that process with a script that uses that text file?

Thanks for the help! I'm testing the scripts now, but it doesn't seem to be relinking the images to the new filenames. Will continue to peck away at it for a little bit longer and get back to you. I want to make sure I'm following the steps correctly.
