OK, now that the missing links are visible, what can one do with them? I was foolishly expecting them to be treated as if they were what they point to, but for example, a symbolic link apparently can only be clicked to open a Finder window. What I believe should happen is it the link points to a text file, clicking it should edit the file; if it is a folder, it should have a triangle next to it and you should be able to edit text files in it, and descend through its sub-folders.
