Link from derived configuration to parent

When using derived configurations dimensions are linked to the parent. These links can be broken and restored (see attachement). The same behaviour seems to apply to changing configurations of components/subassemblies within the assembly, however the option to 'Link to Parent Configuration' is missing. So when I accidentally change the configuration of component/subassembly while having a derived configuration active, it breaks the link and there seems to be no way to restore it (see attachement 2).

Anyone has an idea how to force/restore this link after it has been broken?
