I just want to see them when I open the folder using the 'Click to open' link on the book details panel on the left of the main list. Calibre deletes them without so much as a 'by your leave squire' if I rename the book, change the author etc - see 2nd sentence in para 1 as to why I might want to do that.
I'd also like to keep links to 'related material' like spreadsheets, technical drawings, presentations and video's in the folders. Again I do NOT want Calibre to maintain the presence of the links, I just not want it to cause their absence.
I could probably get around it with hyper links in the comments. But, I'd prefer to use the facilities of the file system, its more visible, more accessible and far more robust. I have the tools to help me maintain file system integrity, whereas as hyper links chunks of HTML buried in who knows what files is outside my control.

Calibre is intended to manage self contained documents.
I would
avoid trying to
link to a Calibre managed file, there are just too many ways to fracture the current files linkage.
