What is the trick behind replacing a part model?

I have a part model that includes an External Merge.

 

I need to Replace one of the parts that gets merged.

 

There is no option for "Replace" in the tree so I choose "Edit Definition".

 

The merged part shows up top in a selection box "as shown".

On 1st look there is no option to replace out the model.  However if I right click in the selection box I get the "Replace" option which I click.  I would think this would allow me to open up the file just to the right of the selection box, but it does not allow it to open so I could pick a part as the replacement.  Instead I see the following warning dialog at the bottom of my screen.

Presently I am deleting the External Merge and reinserting the newly revised model file.  I'm thinking it should be possible however to Replace out one model for another.  How would this be done?
