But I just want to modify the content after @, @ and its previous numbers remain unchanged.
For example, this is the end:

Hi @dublove I have written a script that I hope does what you ask. Please give it a try and let me know how it goes. I hope you can follow along in the script to see what I am doing: I locate the caption based on it's proximity to the bottom left of the graphic frame, then rename the link.

Hi~m1b
Thank you very muck.
Select single picture , it can be run.
If you choose more than two pictures, you will not run anymore.
I suggest to choose pictures and its picture descriptions at the same time, which will be safer.
Only by selecting two pictures and their picture description frameworks, you need to judge which text framework is the recently.
The script runs quietly. At first I was a bit unaccustomed, but have the prompts may be even more uncomfortable.
Yes selecting multiple graphics at once is a good idea—I have updated script above.
However, the idea to select a graphic and its caption does not help much when you are selecting multiple graphics as the script still has to work out which caption belongs to which graphics.
The method I've chosen is quite robust in my opinion—I get the text frame whose top-left is closest to the graphic frame's bottom-left (see graphic below). I cannot imagine a realistic situation where this would fail. Do you have a counter example?

Limit the script , even only modify one image, you need to select both the image and the text frame.
Instead of now, that just selecting the image it can run.
Even if we select more than 2 images, We should also select their caption the frame, But it should not contain other text boxes.
We can only run the script for the selected diagram and frame.
So, at most we can run it for the double page (left and right pages).
There is a clear distance between the image description frames.
Hi~m1b.
Thank you very muck.
I don't have a good negative example, I think limiting the selection of objects and running scripts is enough.
There are some issues with the script:
1. The script doesn't seem very smooth, sometimes freezing for more than ten seconds.
2. If the selected image link is missing, there should be a pop-up prompt.
3. The running result pop-up suddenly feels a bit redundant, I suggest canceling it.(Or a different way of reminding, can it quickly and automatically disappear?)
4. Do not modify the file extensions. (For example, it used to be abc.jpg, but later became abc.jpg.jpg, which can lead to the loss of link relationships)
I understand, the extension in my ID caption has not been deleted
But I deleted the extension, tried again, and quickly changed my name.
I changed my name again for testing and found that it was stuck for 30 seconds.
This one didn't get jammed.
Selecting only one diagram and its text box works.
Two diagrams together, failed to rename, prompting the following message
It seems that the first image is not renamed
