Description

Create shortcut support as windows explorer. Sometimes a file needs to be placed in multiple folders. Suppose I have a pdf file named A Song of Ice and Fire by gegro martin. Now I want to access this file from two different folders Nobels and Gegro Martin books.
Please implement this feature in Material Files app by @zhanghai .

Research direction

Start by examining how Material Files currently represents and opens files and folders, then clarify the expected Windows Explorer-style shortcut behavior for the two target folders. Done should include an agreed shortcut design and tests covering its creation and use.
