Since Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0 is it posible to easily create shortcuts to a file. An advantage of shortcuts is that there can be many shortcuts that all point to a single copy of a file and if an application can follow a shortcut to a file it is always ensured that the latest version of that file is used.

Trinc-Prolog can automatically detect, read and follow shortcuts to files. This enables
the user to have a single copy of a file and multiple shortcuts to it from different
development projects and/or running applications.
The single requirement is that the shortcut must have the same name as the file
that must be loaded, for example: a shortcut to the file 'win.txt' must be named
'win.txt' and not something like 'Shortcut to win.txt'.
