Not really, quark will remember the path. We always keep our images in a separate folder, so we can move (not copy) the folder into another folder temporarily to break the links, then update to the new images. If you are working on a server you could also try to save the file to your desktop (then un-mount the server) to break the links.

Hope this helps,

Try renaming the folder in which you have the pictures for the existing document. This will break the existing link.

I just add a ? (option - eight) before the file name, then the link is broken and you can re-link to the new file. Or, as Sunny_pandita mentioned, put the ? in front of the folder name, and the link to all the files inside should be broken.
