Do connections to AEM still remain for assets copied to Creative Cloud Libraries?

I am investigating linking our Creative Cloud libraries to AEM as a cloud. I found the video linked below. My question is this:
If I copy an asset into a Creative Cloud library am I still able to track its use? If someone uses an asset from a library via InDesign or Express will I see that usage for the asset in AEM?

Hi ​@dmescia2 ,

Short answer: No - not automatically. If a user copies an asset into a CC library and then uses it from CC (InDesign/Express), AEM will not reliably show that usage unless the CC item remains linked to the original AEM asset or you capture usage events and send them back to AEM.
 

Recommendation: If tracking is required, either use a CC<>AEM sync that preserves the AEM asset reference, or build a small webhook/middleware to capture CC Library usage and write it back into AEM’s audit/reporting store.
