Sometimes the meaninful part of the symbolic link is in the target.
Let's say you have a lot of files (thousands of them), in different
locations and you create links to them:
t1
t2
...
ti
...
to all those files under the same directory for whatever
processing/editing that you have in mind.
In such case, the only mark which has sense to pick up some
particular files with a regexp is something like the proposed
command in this thread.

Good point. I agree with this.
