I'm not all that sure that I'd *like* hot-links unless I receive notice
that a file that I'm playing with has a hot-link into or from it.
Consider: you've just done a back-up (i.e. you *know* that you've got a
good copy of the current data) so you decide to go in and play with your
spreadsheet to see if your latest and greatest idea will save some money.
You make your changes and, because you've just been called to a mtg, save
your work and leave.  A day or so later you print a document which has a
hot-link to the spreadsheet...you get the *wrong* data!

I like the concept, just not sure that I'd heartily endorse a particular
implementation.
