Unless I am mistaken this cannot elide over the fundamental protections Android enforce which make it impossible to do cross-device symlinks to external SD cards in a non-rooted Android: the outer kernel blocks this, even though you can cd into the paths.
If (for example) you can overlay/union mount and have a synthetic upper layer FS which manages things, I could use this.
- hks0 2y agoproot works by hijacking and altering syscalls. So maybe you could emulate the symlink yourself, by altering the file paths at ptrace level? Thinking more, maybe it works out of the box? Just mount the overlays (there's a cli flag IIRC) and proot takes care of syscalls by definition.
