Do you want to: Suggest a feature
For feature suggestions, describe the result you would like to achieve in detail:

It would be extremely useful to be able to “link” a document across multiple folders, the equivalent of a symlink.

We have cases where we need to have a document in a folder for reference for a recurring meeting. That ends up meaning we make a copy of a document to store in that folder, and then users easily get confused as to which one is which and end up updating the wrong document, instead of the master document.

If the “meeting” folder could have a link to the master document, instead of a copy, this problem would be resolved.

Hello @charles

Have you encountered any web-based storage that allows creating such “symlinks”? If so, please provide any examples or share a documentation on that feature for the reference.

I don’t use any web based storage aside from OO.

I see. Unfortunately, without any descriptive information about such mechanism it is difficult to register a suggestion. It is not clear, aside from concept, how it should work from technical perspective.
