plasma is not a file manager. figuring out how to make that clear to people who have been using their desktop as a file manager for the last 20 years is indeed an interesting question. marking every icon with the link symbol seems a bit gratuitous as that is all there are.

there's probably a very sensible solution just lurking around a corner here somewhere.

> prefer a plain symbolic link to be created in the Desktop folder

the Desktop folder is deprecated.
