How to update all 'Associations' in the Graphics Annotations table? [Probes, Annotations]

Question

Unfortunately, the 'association' entries in the 'graphics annotations' table are not updated if object names are changed. If for example the name of a figure or a parent result object is changed, the old names will remain in the association. This is of course a big issue if you want to use those entries for further post-processing.

As shown in the figure above the entries in the column 'Association' in the 'graphics annotations' table are derived from the names of the objects which which are hierarchically above them in the object tree at the time of the creation of the probe/annotation. The object names are separated by '>'. If the name of any object is changed this change is not reflected in the association entry.

Or to cite myself:
