I have a small print-on-demand clothing company, and spend a lot of time creating mockups for t-shirt designs. I'm wondering if it's possible to place a "linked" smart object or vector object into multiple PSD mockup files in a folder, that would update automatically when it's updated. For example, I'm imagining 10 PSD files in a folder (t-shirt mockups), and all of the files had a smart object (or similar) that could be updated once and the updated would be reflected in all 10 files.

Hope that makes sense. Thanks for any tips!

In the File menu you'll find Place Linked... command that places a linked smart object.

If you have .psd(s) with the linked file opened, the placed objects will update automatically. If you open them later, there will be a warning sign on the obsolete placed layer. Click with the right mouse button will reveal Update (All) Modified Content options.

If you want to automatically update a lot of files you can record this step as an Action and run the Action of a folder of images or opened images using Image Processor or Automate > Batch.. command.
