Thanks Kyle.

I have tried links, but in all my attempts the links break whenever the
source or the target is committed to version control. My understanding
that each new commit to a file effectively changes the inode, breaking
the link. In your use, are the targets and their links both under
version control? If so, obviously they aren't breaking, so I must be
doing something wrong when I try the same thing.

Best,

Tyler
