Indeed, I sometimes use links in /home/user to a mount point, but often
I directly access this data by /mnt or /media or wherever it's mounted.
Sometimes it's even mounted in /home.

$ grep music /etc/fstab
/dev/sda11   /mnt/music	  ext3  noatime,defaults   0 2 
/dev/sdb12   /home/music  ext4  noatime,defaults   0 2

$ ls -hAl ~/VirtualBox\ VMs 
/home/rocketmouse/VirtualBox VMs -> /mnt/winos/VirtualBox VMs/
