This is the API you should use for rename and update links:

obsidianmd/obsidian-api/blob/master/obsidian.d.ts#L1060

      
        
             * @public

             */

            getNewFileParent(sourcePath: string): TFolder;

            
            
/**

             * Rename or move a file safely, and update all links to it depending on the user's preferences.

             * @param file - the file to rename

             * @param newPath - the new path for the file

             * @public

             */

            renameFile(file: TAbstractFile, newPath: string): Promise<void>;

            
            
/**

             * Generate a markdown link based on the user's preferences.

             * @param file - the file to link to.

             * @param sourcePath - where the link is stored in, used to compute relative links.

             * @param subpath - A subpath, starting with `#`, used for linking to headings or blocks.

             * @param alias - The display text if it's to be different than the file name. Pass empty string to use file name.

             * @public

             */

            generateMarkdownLink(file: TFile, sourcePath: string, subpath?: string, alias?: string): string;
