  Links in windows are a thing, but not well known. I must have been using Windows for close to 20 years before I realized they were in there. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/hard-links-and-junctions https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/hard-... https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/mklink https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administrat...

    mklink /d on windows has saved me many times.

    So not-well-known that several tools that really should know better don't check for junctions with occasionally disastrous results in a fs walk. (Using junctions sounded really clever to me until this had me up all night figuring out why the backup system crashed.)
