Er, yes. If not, it wouldn't help with your problem!
When you open the spreadsheet, you will see a dialogue asking if
links to other files should be updated. If you wish to perform the
update with the spreadsheet open, you can go to File | Reload (after
saving any changes to the spreadsheet, of course) - which will
stimulate the same dialogue.
