ExtendScript - TrackItem.remove() removes linked items

Question

Hello,I'll give you an example to explain my issue. If I have both a video and audio clip linked to each other, I would like to be able to delete both with only one API call. From what I know, and I might be wrong, it is not possible since I need to retreive audio and video tracks separatly then call remove() on their items. The issue is that when you have a lot of clips to delete, it would be great to be able (by specifying a parameter) to remove the current clip and all other clips that are linked to it. Is it possible ? If not, is it something you will add later on ?

It deletes only one, if they are linked or not doesn't change the outcome

Thanks for confirming.

It's unlikely we will add new functionality to PPro's extendscript APIs; until/unless we do, continue to process the audio and video trackitems separately.

Does changing the trackItem's linkage, help?

Here's PProPanel unlinking a trackItem, so as to only delete the video and not audio portions of a clip:
