In my Rox Filer I have the option to "Show Target" of a symbolic link, that one is useful function, and I assumed that it must exist in Emacs but did not find it.

Is there maybe some Dired function to jump exactly to specific file name? -- Jean Take action in Free Software Foundation campaigns: https://www.fsf.org/campaigns In support of Richard M.
