Last year I needed symlinks and developed a version of your product
where the symlink had a different id than the real object. But the
general solution of a symlink where an arbitrary set of attributes
are from the symlink instance instead of from the real object was
too much difficult for me, so this year we've changed the dessign
of the application and don't need symlinks anymore.
