Yes. Open two dired buffers, one with target directory (includes the  
file the symbolic link will point to), one with the source directory  
(will contain the sym-link). Create the link with S. (Using H you  
will create a hard link, which will make it impossible to decide  
which is source and which is target, which needs that both are on the  
same partition/volume/slice/file system.)
