Not in the case of regular links. With videos, you can rebuild old BBCode that was specially set aside for that purpose. For instance [YOUTUBE] BBCode can be rebuilt to use [AME] BBCode instead. But it's likely you didn't have a specialized BBCode tag set aside for Amazon links. You likely just posted links as normal. And you certainly wouldn't want AME replacing all your [URL] tags.

Any older links you wanted to reflect the new edits to your definition would require them being edited and resaved.

Well, I dug up some old threads that I knew had posts with Amazon links in them. The links now have my ID appended to them. I have no clue how this works, but it appears that even old links are being changed. I even copied a few of them and used the "link checker" that Amazon provides to make sure they were valid links.
