You can do just that with the symlink function. Let's look at an example:

symlink (":disk:folder2:whatever", ":disk:folder3:thing") ;

this would take the file "thing" which is located inside a folder called
"folder3" and make an alias of it called "whatever" located inside
"folder2".

If you prefer, the syntax of the function would look something like this:

symlink ("newlink", "file");

Hope that helps...
