Mario, it was a throw-away comment, not a justification.

Let me rephrase it...

There's no need to rename the link at all. An ordinary symlink pointing
at the file concerned would simply use the file's original name. The
user is free to change that name if desired. The icon can have an arrow,
or whatever seems appropriate, to show it as a link. The icon could even
have the words "Lnk to /path/to/foo" on it. Rox shows the target
location on mouseover of a link icon, for example.

Nothing to see here, move along folks...
