--- Comment #1 from John <ilikefoss at waterisgone.com> ---
It's most likely because you are using very old versions.
I created, in /tmp/demo, these for testing:
0664 .rw-rw-r-- 0 john john 13 Mar 09:37 file_a
0777 lrwxrwxrwx - john john 13 Mar 09:38 file_b -> ./file_a
0777 lrwxrwxrwx - john john 13 Mar 09:39 link-to-file -> ./file_a

Both file_b and link-to-file,when hovered, show in Dolphin's status bar:
file_b (Empty document, Link to ./file_a)
link-to-file (Empty document, Link to ./file_a)

So to me, the status bar show the right think, even explaining that the file is
a symbolic link and pointing to a file that it's in the same folder.
Tested on Plasma 6.3.2 (Wayland) on Debian 13 (Trixie) - unstable repository.
