Can I use fields to link to a table saved in a separate file?

Hi All,
I work for a Landscape Architecture firm whose standard is to xref Details directly onto paper space.
We are hoping to find a method for creating detail call outs that automatically update when the order is changed.
Typically when we start a project we make an excel table file where we list all of the details, the name, and what sheet they are on.
Ex: Drawing name_Details.dwg
Ideally, we would like to use fields to link the detail bubble in one file (Ex: Landscape Plan.dwg) to a data cell in the table file.
This would allow us to update only the table and have all of the call outs update automatically.
Is this possible?
Thanks,
Chelsea
