I strongly agree. Dependency tracking would be the perfect solution for novice and advanced users.

But how would it work? How do we find a file, if we don't know its path?

Each file would have to have a system-wide unique ID, independent of path and name.

Or you would have to keep track of where you have links to files to trigger updates whenever a file is renamed/moved.

To have any chance to get there on platforms other than Linux, this would have to happen on some intermediary layer.
