Links Panel (images)

Is it possible to use the same 'Links' window from InDesign as a feature in XD?

Example: I am working on a website for a client with multiple artboards and lots of images. I need full control and understanding of the output resolution of each image and also it's file name and location (when not working from images in CC libraries). There are some watermaked stock images and I will need to go through them, download and relink on approval - then export each asset.

Having the Links panel integrated into XD from InDesign would be a massive help and would make life a lot easier when moving from initial concept through to deign approval / development.

Also - bundle the 'Asset Export' option from Illustrator into the links panel and you then have full control of all your image assets, all in one panel.

    I'm getting ready to do a massive storyboard for redesigning the action flow of our apps, so it would be helpful to see the filename of the screenshots I'm about to add to each artboard. In the meantime, I'm just going to copy/paste the filename to the title of each board as I go.

    It would definitely be a time saver to see the filenames after pasting somewhere like a Links/ Assets panel.

    Thanks!

    I feel like whom ever made Adobe XD has never used Adobe Ilustrator or InDesign.

    The Links panel is crucial!

    For example... I have a 35-page mockup in Adobe XD with images pasted throughout the entire 35 pages... and if I need to make an update to an image in Photoshop... I just make the change, and then "LINK" it back into XD, without having to copy and paste it 35 times! AND in Illustrator, if you paste an image, it shows you the size (if you resized the image) and the rotation degrees (if you rotated it)... and MOST IMPORTANTLY, the file name and File path of the image you have linked. EXTREMELY USEFUL and common sense.
