[Zope-dev] Soft links again

[Ibaņez Palomar Juan David]

Hi Shane,

and thanks for Symlink, it's a big step towards solve the problem,
but remains an issue...

It would be great if the symbolic link could have a different id than
the object referenced. But with the __of__ based solution "link.id" is
always "referenced_object.id".

How this could be done?
