When you use File > Place Linked..., Photoshop creates a Linked Smart Object for you. Then you can apply Smart Filters to the linked file and change the source whenever you want. Here's more info on Linked Smart Objects:

    Yes, just like with embedded smart objects.

     


    With the limitation that Vector Smart Objects do not allow Warp, the work-around being to convert them to another Smart Object.
