How can i replace an .fbx with another without going through all references and fixing them with the new one ?

Question

Is it possible to replace an fbx file with a new one (say a copy of the file, so it does not ovewrite the same file in another project) and keep all links but for the new one ?

Prefabs that use the fbx could be update all at once by the parent prefab i guess, but what about links that are not in prefab or the prefab connection is broken ?

Same question for scripts, say i copy a script, can i use the new one instead of the old in an automated way or the only way is to go through all scenes and items that use the script and replace it ?

Thanks

There are kinda three choices:

Overwrite the FBX asset
Script replace (editor script as described)
Or update prefabs instances:

Add existing prefab (with old fbx asset) to empty scene
Drag new fbx into scene prefab/delete old - fix up as applicable
Save scene
Drag scene prefab over project window prefab to update all prefabs
Save Project
