Bug description
Opening a manual created link to a folder the path line in Nemo or the properties view of a file always says "link to..."
Steps to reproduce
Right-click a folder - select "create link" - open link to folder with double-left-click
Expected behavior
The path line in Nemo and properties view should give the real path.
Additional information
I don't know, if this behaviour above is intended, but if I right-click a folder link and choose "follow to original file", then the path line is correct.
Btw I can't do right-click-drag-and-drops, but thats maybe an extra feature request.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in Nemo on Manjaro with a manually created folder link, then trace how Nemo displays the path line for the link and for “follow to original file.” Done means the Nemo path line and file properties show the real target path for a folder link.
