--- Comment #3 from John Kizer <john.kizer at proton.me> ---
Hi - thanks for your bug report! I can basically reproduce this on Fedora KDE
41, although only for the case of using drag-and-drop and then choosing "Create
Link". A .desktop file is created instead of the link, which functions in
Dolphin's Act as Administrator mode, but isn't an actual symlink.

Creating a symlink to a root-owned location does work by going to the location
you intend to hold the link, and right-clicking > choosing Create New > Link to
File or Directory.
