Yes, here I agree

But here I'd disagree. IIRC, if you create a shortcut file with just one entry but then rename it so that its name is no more the default "shortcuts.link" but, say, "myfile.link", then you'll jump to that location after selecting (='playing') the .link-file in the browser. I.e. the .link file works just as a symlink.

But I can't verify this now -- just out of my head.

You're talking about a feature of Windows here. Windows != Rockbox.

No, I'm talking about the feature of the shortcuts plugin (viewer part of it, which should be activated when a .link file is 'played').

GodEater:
Yes - but that still doesn't acheive what the OP wants.

Yes, I stand corrected. The 'symlinks' are just a feature of the plugin, they are not known at the file system level.
