How can I programatically find the path and file name for an embedded object? I know I can right click on the object and select Packager Shell Object and then Properties to find the information manually.

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.

I just found that the object is being saved as a temporary file when I initially click on the object in the spreadsheet. The object is then opened from the hard drive. If I change the file name on disk at that point I get a file not found error message when I try to open the object again.
