I don't know how to do so in KDE.  But there's no conceptual reason a
GUI couldn't do this.

Not on modern GNU/Linux.  Wikipedia
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_link) using Arch Technica as a
source(http://arstechnica.com/reviews/os/mac-os-x-10-5.ars/14), says Mac
OS X supports this, but I haven't tested.
