Linking to external folders and files


UPDATE REGARDING SYMBOLIC LINKS

I noticed if the symbolic link was created with the utility mentioned above:
linkMaker_v1.1.1 that the link is persistent between PC restarts, Eg no need to reinitiate the link with a script.

If you want to remove the symbolic link from your obsidian vault you would use Windows File Explorer to navigate to the obsidian virtual (symbolic linked) folder and delete it.

You will know you are looking at a virtual folder because it will have a short-cut icon attached to it. FYI deleting the virtual folder does not harm the data in the source folder. Please note you can use this same technique for individual files too.

Best Regards
