The Zim pages are just text so you can do this outside ofZim with a perl one-liner.

I would do something like - I use Linux:

cd to root of notebook

perl -p -i -e 's/oldstring/newstring/g' $(find ./ -name *.txt)

Running another Replace to change the text to "example" changes the link too - it becomes a link to example(page) at the same level as the document instead of referring back to the Index.
