I believe that you could script this entire operation pretty easily.
Simply get the reference to all picture boxes, loop through checking each
graphic, when you find one that modified, get the image properties (scale
in quark, offset, angle, etc.) reimport the graphic, re-apply the
properties.
For missing graphics you could copy and paste the low-res image breaking
the link to the graphic so it will print low-res with no dialog and/or
specify in your script a list of folders to look for the graphics and/or
specify in your script an alternate graphic to import when graphics are
missing.
