Second Question about Links in active InDesign Spread

Shane Stanley kindly answered my question about getting InDesign links in an active spread. I realized I have a second part to the question – is there an easy way to get a list of the links of an active spread whose status is “link missing”? Here’s my cumbersome solution, but I sure it could be more elegant:

 

tell application "Adobe InDesign CS2"

set LinkList to {}

set GraphicsLinks to (item link of all graphics of active spread of layout window 1) as list

repeat with aLink in GraphicsLinks

if status of aLink is not link missing then

if LinkList is {} then

set LinkList to ((file path of aLink) as string) as list

else

set LinkList to LinkList & ((file path of aLink) as string) as list

end if

end if

end repeat

end tell

  set theLinks to (item link of all graphics of active spread of layout window 1) as list

 

Thanks again,
