So, thank you all for your ideas! I think I'm going to make a small script, which iterates through all text boxes, reads a parameter called i.e. filelocation, and puts in the text from that file while using the document stiles (if this is possible). I will need to dig into it.
The idea was to have all text written and collected in a git repository. Thank you!
