I want to export assets of an Illustrator file so I can use them as links later-on.

However the "Asset-Export" dialogue does not let me use .ai as output format:



While I know, you can use SVG or PNGs as links as well, I would prefer to use .ai, since it should have the best possible compatibility (for obvious reasons).

My main goal is to have key assets, that might need to get changed / revised, as links, so that I only have to make changes once and they will be reflected in multiple illustrator files, which use these assets.

Am I missing something? Is this a dumb idea? Or why is this option seemingly absent? Or does it just happen to be placed somewhere else in the menu?
