Replace an image without losing comments and likes

Is there a way to replace an image without losing all comments and likes? It's very frustrating to start from scratch with an image every time I replace it. When I browse through old images, I often see things that I want to edit some more.
I am sure no comments and likes disappeared when I updated images with the built-in Aperture plugin, but I don't use it anymore because of other sync issues.

You can manually do it, by clicking on the spanner icon and selecting replace.
I will probably soon replace Aperture with the new Photos app, but if that proves to be too poor for my usage, I will probably migrate to Lightroom.

On Flickr this is not a problem at all, but visitors can see on the EXIF info the date and time an image was replaced. That should be sufficient on SmugMug too, I think!
I added some comments to a photo.
I used Tools... Replace... to replace that photo in my smug site.
The comments are still in place. I can't speak to the likes since the number of likes on a photo is not visible.
To make sure I was looking at the same photo in smug I replaced it with a different image. The comments remained.

But is seems that likes still disappear. I can't see them, but I can detect them in a smart album of popular photos. Pictures with likes and comments appear in that album. But when I replace a picture without comments (but probably with one or more likes), it disappear from the Popular album.
