Hello there, have a question about belowed panel. Is there a way (shortcut or something) to open this panel manualy? I know it appears when some of the smart objects links are missing, but I'm almost pretty sure that once I was able to open it manualy but can't remember how I did it. Great thanks for all help!

var idfixMissingLinkedAssets = stringIDToTypeID( "fixMissingLinkedAssets" );
    var d = new ActionDescriptor();
    var idnull = charIDToTypeID( "null" );
        var r = new ActionReference();
        var idDcmn = charIDToTypeID( "Dcmn" );
        var idOrdn = charIDToTypeID( "Ordn" );
        var idTrgt = charIDToTypeID( "Trgt" );
        r.putEnumerated( idDcmn, idOrdn, idTrgt );
    d.putReference( idnull, r );
executeAction( idfixMissingLinkedAssets, d, DialogModes.ALL );

OK this is sort of non-obvious and totally out of left field, but the way you can get a links list for a Photoshop document is to select it in Adobe Bridge, and then look in the Metadata panel.

This isn’t just for Photoshop files. Bridge has the ability to dig into certain Adobe file types and list things in those files such as links, color swatches, fonts, and so on. What it lists is different for various file types, so it doesn’t always show you what you want, but when it works, it’s useful.
