I've asked this before for the exact same reason. Maybe a suggestion to the programmers is in order. The answer I was given was that you have to do a search to find some specific wording that would be in each of those source details; mainly that will work fairly well as a 'search & replace' function. (fairly recently; perhaps in archives?)
I'm still not satisfied because I tried that a few times and it did change multiple entries but didn't show me each one to make sure it was the one I intended; if that makes any sense :-/ It was just like, ok to change #1, #2, #3 etc. and I just said yes to everything and I may have changed someone whose source happened to have those words somewhere in the details. So I really wasn't sold on that solution. Those are exactly my situations and thoughts and why I had been considering becoming an extreme 'splitter' so I could attach pictures or files to a source detail (or additional info) without having to try to figure out who and where those sources had been attached.
