Looping through is not particularly cumbersome; depending on an app's

Better to say:
if status of aLink is not link missing then
set end of LinkList to ((file path of aLink) as string)
end if
But in this case, it can probably all be done in one command:
try
set theLinks to (get file path of item link of every item of all
graphics of active spread of layout window 1 whose status of item link is
normal) as list
on error
-- there are none
end try
