How do I link Blocks and make them auto update?

I know you can link Excel sheets to a drawing.

 

And when I make a change in the excel file, I just have to open the drawing and click "Update tables".

 

Is there a similar thing for Blocks? I got some blocks of chairs/freezers/shelves that I want to insert and when I make a change, it auto updates whenever I open the drawing, is this possible? It would save me a lot of time.  Only way I can find is to re-insert the block and Redefine it, is there a way to do it automatically or a simple command to redefine all blocks?

 

Using 2014 LT.

Perhaps the problem can be handled in another manner.  I'm thinking either by inserting blocks as an Xref or by creating Dynamic Blocks.
