Default Change Chart Name Event

1) Is there a way to execute code whenever the chart name (on the tab)
changes? There is no AfterUpdate event for charts. How do I do this?

2) Also, is there any way to reference a chart name in a formula on a
worksheet? I want to create a list of all sheets (including charts) in the
workbook and the user can choose which sheets to publish. I want the list to
be dynamic so if the user changes the name on the tab it is automatically
reflected in the list. I can do this for regula worksheets but haven't found
a way to do it for charts.

3) If I have a data sheet and a chart tied to the data sheet and I create a
copy of both sheets in a new file (using the Move or Copy Sheet command) the
chart data series refer to the data sheet in the new file (which is what I
want). However, if the chart is embedded on a worksheet and I do the same
thing the chart in the new file references the original file creating a file
link. Does anyone know why Excel does this? I want the chart in the new
file to continue to be dynamic so I can't use the Break Links command. Short
of saving the new file and then updating the links to point to the new file,
is there any way around this?

Thanks to anyone that can help with these issues.
