Sorry - Had claude help prepare report. That was a weird bug and what have
never worked out what was going on without it's help.

Dolphin Version: 26.04.3

Basically my samba root path is /srv/hpssd/finance  with many subfolders
available to a group include windows clients. Each linux account (with parallel
windows accounts) has in their home paths /home/$USER/Documents a softlink
/home/$USER/Documents/finance -> /srv/hpssd/finance to enable easy
accessibility to all in group

When navigating using dolphin /home/$USER/Documents/finance  which actually is
/srv/hpssd/finance, then creating within that samba root using dolphin a new
link to a file within the root, samba creates the link pointing to
/home/$USER/Documents/finance/path/to/target instead of
/srv/hpssd/finance/path/to/target.

This creates a problem for apps such as samba serving the link to it's
networked clients because /home/$USER/Documents/finance/path/to/target is
outside the samba root /srv/hpssd/finance which in samba default trigger the
widelinks block unless enabled. However enabling cause security risk re samba
as it then enables outside user to access the root and wander outside.

Now someone using cli, probably would create the link manually to the
/srv/hpssd/finance/to/whatever/target . But dolphin does not.

Tricky to resolve but it should not be up to other apps to question the link
placed their by dolphin in /srv/hpssd/finance.

Maybe there should be another link option for cases like this in right click
menu?
