Re-Link in Illustrator does not show the name of the link.

Re-Link in Illustrator does not show the name of the link you are trying to re-link, and it makes re-linking multiple images virtually impossible. InDesign does it right. Illustrator has it straight up wrong / missing.

@polishskaterguy it has been discussed here in the past; one of things I do to prevent the 'relink naming issue' is place all your images into the same folder as the Illustrator file, or into a designated "Links" subfolder within the project folder. This makes it easier for Illustrator's automatic re-link logic to function.

Of course, totally. But my workflow often doesn't allow this. For example client gives me loads of over-weight files as .psd and have names a mile long... Then I have to re-name them and re-save them as .jpg for size and brevity. Could be 20 images. By the time I'm done, none of the file names or extensions are the same, so the automatic re-linking doesn't fully solve the issue. It's such a simple issue, and such a simple fix, it should have been made by now. Especially since it's been brought up before.
