No texture display for 3D models in Google-Earth Pro when using KMZ with networklink to other KMZ (including the model)

I face a very strange issue in Google-Earth Pro (desktop client) when I try to display a 3D model "indirectly". Let me explain a bit more.

I try to make life easier for our users by creating a KMZ (=zip of KML) containing only networklink (to other KMZ file in a S3 bucket with presigned links).

These KMZs are very simple (mostly polygons) but one is containing a 3D model, in COLLADA format from Google SketchUp 8 (compatible with GE Pro), including textures files (png) beside. The whole pack (KML + collada + textures) is zipped to a KMZ file.

If I use a KMZ pointing to local KMZ files through the networklink flag : no problem at all. But in my case where I use S3 links, all is working but the textures. The 3D model itself is fine otherwise.

Any idea about how GE Pro is parsing / caching networklinked files to solve this issue ? I guess it is a problem of local path since the content of the file is displayed.
