Symlink instead of copying file?

Is it possible to optionally create symlink of a file from a template?

For example in my template i have file `something.txt`. Normally it just copies it to target directory. But is it possible to make it `symlinked` instead? As some files in a template, are meant to be reused as is on target directories (but should be found in that directory).

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the template-rendering path that copies files, then determine how an optional symlink mode should be configured and represented. Done means the requested option is supported for template files and its behavior is covered by tests.
