Re-linking After Effects assets inside Premiere

Question

I have a premiere project that has a dynamically linked After Effects project. I wanted to rename the folder that all my footage resides in. When I do that I relink all my footage / After Effects files when I open the project. That all works great. However, the After Effects project itself is referencing the footage in the old location resulting in bars and tones showing up. How do I tell After Effects where the footage is now?
If I open up the After Effects project and double click on one of the missing assets to relink it, it trys to browse my hard drive looking for what I named the sub-clip inside Premiere. I need it to reference a clip inside Premiere.

That does work: you don't need to reference a clip inside PrPro, 'cos a clip inside PrPro is just the link to a footage on your hard drive. When you replace a clip or a group of clips in PrPro timeline with dynamically linked comp, AE creates a new composition and imports those clip(s) into the project. But then again, those clips are just links to original footages on your hard drive with properly set In and Out points in the newly created composition. Hence, select a missing clip in AE Project panel, right-click and choose Replace Footage -> File..., locate the original footage on your hard drive and open it up. If all missing footages are in the same folder, AE will automatically find the rest.
