Is there a way to create an action or script to select and embed external file(s) placed in an Illustrator file?

Question

As a follow-up to my question Is there a way to expand linked EPS file placed inside another EPS file in Illustrator?

I am now trying to create an action to select and embed external file(s) placed in an Illustrator file. Is this possible?

Answer 1

Creating an action could be problematic, if at all possible. As for the script, Illustrator CS6 JS API exposes the PlacedItem object, which has the embed method.
