Description

First, UTM is great!

I'm experimenting with Win 11 arm on mac m3, and I see that it is possible to share host folder with guest (win 11) via WebDAV (I had no patience with VirtFS) and it works. However, having experience with VirtualBox I miss a feature to share a folder where there are symlinks which could be followed properly in guest OS.

For example, I share ~/share folder, where I place symlinks to: ~/Desktop, /tmp, ~/Downloads - in VB it worked nicely, in UTM sadly not. It would be nice if WebDAV integration allowed following symlinks - maybe with option to allow this in the settings (or maybe there's some command-line option for it that I don't know about it?)
