Deleting "Can't Find File" Attachment message

Hello!
Is there a convenient way to delete the "Can't Find file "filename.pdf"" for an attachment that is missing in Bookends. As a result of moving from Dropbox to iCloud, I now have many references with 2 attachments, one that is correct and the other which is "Can't find file". I'm at a loss how to do delete these messages, short of reattaching a file and then deleting it.

It would also be wonderful to find a script to do this for me...

Yours,
Maurice

There are few instances where you should get that message as a dialog. If you open the PDF display pane you'll just see the text there.

In any case, you can remove orphaned attachments (files that Bookends can't locate) with Global Change -> Remove Orphaned Attachments.
