This option is missing from Nautilus 1:3.34.1-1ubuntu1. Ubuntu 19.10.
Add a "Create Link/Remove Link" to the right click menu. If a user
selects a file and then clicks "Create Link", a file dialog popup would
appear. A user could then select a destination for the link.
** Changed in: nautilus (Ubuntu)

Title:
"Make Link" operation missing from context menu
Status in Nautilus:
Fix Released
Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
In Nautilus 3.15.x create symbolic links ("make link") was removed
from the context menu (not sure why?). The alternate method with
middle-click/drag does not work with mouse-less device
(laptops/netbooks) and the other alternate method, which involves
mouse, keyboard and three fingers simultaneously, is very
inconvenient for normal users and has bugs.
And It doesn't look like upstream is keen to get back this option
very soon. For LTS, its a major regression and Ubuntu should patch it
until they do.
