allowLinking option
>From the 4.1.12 release notes
---------------------------
Symlinking static resources:
---------------------------
Unix symlinks will not work when used in a web application to link resources
located outside the web application root directory.
This behavior is optional, and the "allowLinking" flag may be used to disable
the check.

But where to use?

On a Resources element (child of a Context element).
We'll probably eventually propagate the flag to some of the top level
components, like DefaultContext (if someone contributed it, it would be
faster, of course).
