  Here's how that looks: F6349192: Screenshot_20181024_234540.png <https://phabricator.kde.org/F6349192>

  The problem with changing `emblem-symbolic-link` to have a background is that it doesn't shrink down very well. You have to distort it to make it fit at all and retain the same look. At 8px, it's simply impossible to make the middle section of the chain without needing to use up the entire horizontal width.
  Here's another attempt:
