I don't want "
to link to a Calibre managed file", I appreciate the folly of doing that.
I want to put a link
in a Calibre managed book folder
to another resource, eg a spreadsheet with the books lexical analysis, I would use a symbolic link.
Obviously this is not doable, and reading similar threads I suspect it will never be doable.
Calibre may have embraced Open Source, but it's ignored Open Data, so it's a long way from being an Open System.
If Calibre is predicated on its data is NOT being accessible using the host file system tools; then why, in Windows at least, does it default to putting its data into
Users/BetterRed/Documents, rather than
Program Data, I assume something similar happens on other operating systems.
Never mind I'll try putting the symlink in a folder ADS
