This is a really needed feature.
Another useful improvement would be some "smart" path replacement strategy.
For instance, if there are several images with broken links and we choose the right path for one of those images (and they share the same location) the program should compare the common location of the broken links and fix the remaining images with the new location automatically.

An example:
there are 3 images with broken absolute links:
/media/disk/inkscape-works/images/cat.png
/media/disk/inkscape-works/images/dog.png
/media/disk/inkscape-works/images/bird.png

when the user sets a relative link for the first image to
images/cat.png

the other images should be automatically relinked, since they had:
a) broken links
b) the same orignal path
c) they exist in the new location.
