Hi Hoping there is a work around or solution.
We work with federated models which can be from our company or from 3rd parties.
We work with shared coordinates and sometimes on large project with multiple instances of some links we also used named locations.
As BIM 360 is used for collaboration I am speechless when I find out...
Note: When collaborating in Autodesk 360, you cannot change linked positions, and the Record Current Position option is disabled.
Currently our work around is to download the host and the links, nest, share and name locations then up load all Back to BIM 360. Not only is this extremely time consuming at the start of the project, but disruptive again once the consultants are on-board.
Additionally as the models need to be moved to preserve the uploaded copies, the version and tracking is 'lost' with the new upload.
What are others doing?
We work with Revit 2018, and we are the Architects, so I all falls under our remit as the lead designers and architect of record. We work with international teams around the globe hence BIM 360 and collaboration is fabulous but there are still some huge issues.
Hoping I can get a better solution or more seamless approach to this.

I love (although is frustrating) that us users can provide working solutions.
Your workaround is a simple and efficient as it could be.
Perhaps a simple "Relinquish Shared Coordinates" would do the job.
Thanks for your collaboration.
