Description

Hi!
I'm trying to build Open3D on my Azure ML compute.
At some point the process fails as it's downloading a dependency that contains symlinks in a tar file.
When trying to manually create a symlink using `ln -s`, this also fails.
I took a closer look and the underlying CIFS file system doesn't support smybolic links.
Is there a workaround or are you planning to support this in the future?

I know that there's also the `localfiles` folder which I can use for that kind of stuff. Would've been nice to have everything at the same place, though.
