Relinking With GCR color profile

Our image team goes through the effort to profile our tire images so they are a little more stable on press. We use the GCR heavy profile but we have just noticed that many of our team members have the wrong color settings in InDesign and the profile is getting trashed. Problem is now there are catalogs with 100’s of images that need to be relinked with the GCR profile preserved. Is there any way of getting around placing these in one by one.

Fastest way I know at the moment is select the image. Go to Object Color Settings and pick the embedded profile. It doesn’t let you select the profile if you have more than one images selected but it seems like this might be something that is scriptable if there isn’t any other way.
