Okay, so I’m trying to understand here. By looking up documentation, I see that you can place images in your file and link them to an image on your file system, so not embedding them in the file. (I’m assuming you’re not talking about inserting links to images on the Internet via URLs.) When the document opens, it loads up the image and places it in. In some apps, updating the file on the file system will update the image automatically without any intervention, and in other apps, changing it on the file system won’t update until you either manually refresh or relaunch the app.
This scenario is what I was defining as “dynamic linking.” Smart Objects (as I’m defining them in my head) are elements that are in a CC file format (like Photoshop or Illustrator). Am I misunderstanding your request for external links?
Thanks,
-Elaine

I have spent hours trying to fix this for a client. So embarrassing.
This thread (and similar) start back in Jan 2018 and the issue still remains unresolved. Totally unacceptable.
This is a basic user expectation which makes any prototype product useless without it.
If Adobe doesn't start addressing this and other issues, I will need to move to another product.
Also, Adobe employees in threads could be far more helpful by raising the issue through the most effective channel on behalf of the community rather than redirecting them to do it themselves.
EPIC FAIL
