How to fix modified links in InDesign CS3

Hello, when talking to Adobe InDesign CS3:

Is there an Applescript way to do a check if an InDesign document contains modified links and if yes update all the modified links?
Can Anyone post example code?



Background info:
I developed an Applescript that automates page lay-outing with InDesign CS3.
One of the things (among many other things) my script does is dragging items onto the page out of an InDesign library. The items in the library are sometimes groups that contain linked files. When the page is ready, the script saves the InDesign document to disk.
So far so good.


Here comes the strange thing: When I check the finished InDesign document, every now and then on a very irregular base I see yellow triangles in the Link pallet meaning that the link to an external file (that is inside a group that was dragged out of the library) was modified. This is a random problem.
Isn't this strange: When a libItem is used twice on a page, the first instance has a modified link and the second one not.
So I thought it was a good idea to implement some commands in my script that fix modified links (if any) just before the document is saved.


Thanks for any help.
Bert.
