One obvious problem is the current optimization with lazy update of metadata in the ebooks, metadata is only written to books when the books leave calibre or when manually launched. To change that would slow down calibre a lot. So to generate the fake tree you would first have to write metadata to books, then create all the symlinks.
My original need is -> use file explorer to copy past file from PC to e-reader.
I don't want to be forced to do that via any sotfware.
