Description

@rektide

There was a request for symbolic links support (creating & reading links) in WICG/file-system-access#377, but it was closed as being risky to OPFS. I'd like to re-open this request again here.

First, fs work seems like it applies beyond OPFS, & fs ought to be able to encompass one of the most common filesystem capabilities. Second, the security concerns seem like they ought potentially be handleable. Perhaps the api for creating a symlink is attached to a directory, and we limit it to only creating symlinks to it's children.
