File linking in photoshop + Auto update links through all applications

At work (graphic and sign studio) we use mostly Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign all together for one project, with linked files from and to these applications.

For example: making a car lettering.

I start with a vector logo in Illustrator -> save as AI

I place this one into Photoshop to apply an effect that's not possible in Illustrator -> save as PSD

This PSD is placed in an Illustrator car outline file -> save as AI

The car design AI is imported in Photoshop again to make a "realistic" picture of the car onto a background -> save as PSD

I place the PSD in an InDesign file, add some text to it and export a proof PDF te send to the customer. -> INDD + PDF

That's just an example offcourse of how we link to and from the 3 apps.

Now if the customer asks to alter the logo just a bit and asks for a new proof, i have to (afaik) manually open each file one at a time, update the links and save/export the updated file. The stuff in Photoshop even has to be REplaced since placed files can't maintain the link to the original file.

1. Is there no way to have linked files in Photoshop just like it works in Illustrator and InDesign? (can't be that hard with smart objects, right?)

2. Is it possible to give a command in the last file (the INDD in my case) to update all links back to the first file?

Thanks!
