> Currently, it's difficult to see what is a symlink from the web UI.
> I've attached two screenshots. In screenshot 1, we see the symlink _/user/schu/tf2-link_ which has a target _/user/schu/dir1/tf2_.
> If we click the tf2-link URL, we arrive at a page that shows the path of the target (screenshot 2).
> It'd be useful if there was a link to this target web UI page and some way of easily discerning if a file is a symlink.
