Comment 2 for bug 1794072

When importing a PNG file, I can chose between (*) embed or ( ) link.
Selecting (*) link allows editing the original image and then have it automatically updated in inkscape, by e.g. restarting or re-opening.

This is the workflow David asks for, if I understand correctly. I've used that myself frequently with generated graphics. Applied changes and re-generated them until all is well.

Unfortunately this switch does not exist when importing PDF, PS, or EPSF. I'd ask to extend the UI consistently if possibly rather than inventing a new switch to store a link differntly.
