Link: Links files directly to eMAM storage for online editing. Require editing machines and storage to be on the same internal network. Ideal for workflows within a physical office environment.
Localize: Downloads files from eMAM storage to local storage. Ideally when the editing workstation lacks direct access to eMAM storage (e.g., object storage like S3) or for offline editing workflows.
Stream: Loads media directly to Premiere from AWS S3 and HTTPS sources, avoiding initial download delays. Requires Media Reactor plugin configuration. Ideal for remote and cloud-based editing workflows.

On click on Link button, now in addition to relinking, it will now fetch the proxy details also and attach the proxy.

Once the proxy is available and linked, click on Ok. Now again if you click on Link Media button, since panel already detected the assets as eMAM assets. So now only proxy will be attached.
You can toggle between original and proxy media in Adobe Premiere Source monitor
