Ahh, on more consideration it will depend on which saving method you use:

1. if neither atomic or GIO saving is selected Geany opens and writes to the 
original file, that should honor the link, 

2. if you use atomic file saving it creates a new file and renames it over the 
specified path, that will replace the link.  This is what my system was set to 
when I tested yesterday.

3. if you use GIO file saving it will do the same as 2 unless there is a 
problem in which case it will do 1, so its anybodys guess, but on most normal 
local files it will replace the link.  This is the default option.
