Unable to use dependencies installed using npm link

**Enhancement**

For testing locally using `npm link` to install a symlink to the local package can be useful, however with the current build configuration these symlinks are resolved back to the original path which means assets do not get processed as required through the build pipeline. Using `symlink: false` in the build configuration resolves this issue, we should investigate if this causes any undesired side-affects and if not update our build config.
