Reload linked library from Outliner
The feature of reloading an external file is somewhat hidden in Blend File view -> right-clicking -> Reload, but I believe this option should be available in other views too.
Switching to Blend File view every time I need to update my externally linked assets is quite inconvenient and I also think many users even don't know it is possible to reload a library this way because it is not easy to find this option.

As author of the Edit Linked Library add-on, I should probably mention that I haven't tested or ported it to 2.80 yet because I'm not sure if there's a plan to make that functionality built-in. If there isn't then I'll certainly get that port started. It should help with things like this.
* @Jason van Gumster * Thanks, your addon is certainly useful, but I would be OK with just making the reload action more accessible as I also believe it shouldn't be much work for developers as the reload action itself is already implemented.
