A "Do shared items" folder sounds good, better to keep the plugins shared items in one place as you suggest.
My only worry about using symlinks is the potential for building up broken symlinks if the user moves/deletes the target files. It might be necessary to periodically look at the shared items folder and clean up broken links. Unless there's a better pattern for handling this scenario?
