Dolphin: how to dereference soft links?

Hi there,

When using drag&drop to copy a softlink to another directory, a new link to 
the original file is created. This is not always a useful behaviour, especially 
when the target directory is for example an usb stick and the file should be 
transferred to another computer who cannot dereference that list. 

I did not find a way to do that in dolphin, so I had to do that in a terminal 
via cp.

Is there a way to do that in dolphin?

Regards,
	Alex
