Dear Luc, Indeed, that would be annoying.
BTW, I offer on my website several AppleScripts which greatly support such tasks. E.g. I can simply replace in the Finder an obsolete version of a PDF with an updated one and then trigger with a shortcut (Ctrl^F) an AppleScript that discards the old link and replaces it with a new link to the new file. There is only one drawback for this to work, I use information from the record to construct the file name. In my case I use only the cite key with some suffixes if there are several PDF’s linked to the same article, e.g. supplementary material, to name my PDFs.

It happens every now and then that either I filed the wrong file, or more often that I want to replace a preprint by a later version or the published one. Currently, I have to remove the link, add the new one, then use “Reveal in Finder” and remove the old one. A bit tedious.
