Script to batch relink renamed map files

I have multiple objects with multiple materials with loaded bitmaps, that are different but have the same filename. 

For example, two bitmaps named "leaves.jpg", one is red, other is blue. 

 

If I rename one of the maps to "blue-leaves.jpg", is there a way, how in 3Ds Max automatically relink all of the paths, that were linked to file "leaves.jpg" to "blue-leaves.jpg"?

 

Of course, I can use assets tracking etc... But if we are talking not about one file, but multiple files within one scene? For example scene with a tree that has in materials loaded bitmaps "leaves-1.jpg" "leaves-2.jpg" "leaves-3.jpg" ... "leaves-450.jpg" is there way to relink to renamed bitmaps  "blue-leaves-1.jpg" "blue-leaves-2.jpg" "blue-leaves-3.jpg" ... "blue-leaves-450.jpg"?

 

All of the relink scripts I have found so far deal with paths to different directories, not with the actual file names 😕

 

Thanks, help is much appreciated.
