Description
If I move the foaf:knows triples from my profile to a file linked from my profile with rdfs:seeAlso, the show-profile page can find them, but the edit-profile page can not. This is because the form to edit the profile is based on the profile document, not the profile graph. [EDIT: following suggestion is probably unworkable because where would you write the data back to?] One way of solving this would be to use something like solid-rest-browser to store the profile graph as an in-memory document and edit the profile using the in-memory document as the data-source of the form.

Research direction
Start by comparing the show-profile page, which can find foaf:knows triples through rdfs:seeAlso, with the edit-profile page, which reads only the profile document. Investigate whether solid-rest-browser can provide an in-memory profile graph for the form, then determine where edited data would be written back. Done means linked profile data can be edited without losing a valid storage destination.
