My new versions actually does this, I've implemented 2 version now. One which edit the link itself, the other will edit the content inside the smartobject. The latter is slower however to the workflow need. But it's still a fraction of doing this all manually .
It's nice you have such expanded tutorials and writing. But it's a commercial product. $15 per month. Kinda steep price if you can get ir for free here
