Is there a way that I can change the fill color of multiple linked .ai files all at once in InDesign? My process is as follows:

I'm working on a photobook in InDesign. I've a master page with various linked icon images that are one color (currently .psd format) and a frame that will contain a different vector filled Illustrator file on each page (see screenshot). They have the same fill color as the icon images.

The layout of the master page is finished but I'm not yet satisfied with the color scheme. I want to be able to see the effects when I change the color in my InDesign layout (the icons and the different illustrator files). The proces of opening up every individual file in Illustrator and Photoshop to change its fill color is a time consuming time. So that's why I wonder if there is a smarter solution to change the fill color of my linked .ai (and .psd files).

Reverse the object. So instead of object colored in gray have it transparent while everything else is white.
Then, in indesing, just change the object color to chosen one.

OR

Copy & Paste the object to the Indesing so it will behave as regular object and not placed file.
