It's common for spreadsheets referencing a property in another document to duplicate that as a label in a nearby cell or alias in it's internal spreadsheet.

We could possibly implement this as a simple "text search" and have separate find and replace functions for "text references".

Pattern would be r'\bText\b'.

Changing an internal alias is somewhat complicated as you need to also change all references to that alias.

FreeCAD implements this by default, so maybe it's not worth addressing.

This search could be performed after a rename operation, on only the documents that were renamed.

Some directories are missing from the PyPI installation (at least fcxref/{find,remove,rename}).

pip3 show fcxref --files gives:

There are references to document and object names in XLinks that should be renamed when renaming a reference.

Need to be careful to not to rename an XLink if another reference to that file or object still exists.

In this case we would add an XLink and increment the count and docs attribute.

<XLinks count="1" docs="1">
    <DocMap name="Master" label="Master" index="0"/>
    <XLink file="Master.FCStd" stamp="2021-07-25T18:40:15Z" name="Spreadsheet"/>
</XLinks>

<XLinks count="2" docs="2">
    <DocMap name="Master" label="Master" index="1"/>
    <DocMap name="Cube" label="Cube" index="0"/>
    <XLink file="Cube.FCStd" stamp="2021-07-25T20:03:03Z" name="Box"/>
    <XLink file="Master.FCStd" stamp="2021-07-25T18:40:15Z" name="Spreadsheet"/>
</XLinks>
