Just a clarification.
Vista+ has symlinks on NTFS: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbolic_link
NT4+ has hardlinks on NTFS: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_link
They are different beasts. And removing existing functionality from symlinks
(while retaining for hardlinks) would limit the scenarios that Eike mentioned,
by only the same filesystem.
In IRC, I suggested that a top yellow banner could help, that would say
something like this: "This file was opened with symlink from a different
directory, so its relative links currently may work differently. Click here to
reopen it from original location. [Don't show this again] [Read more]". But
this was supposed to be too intrusive an UI.
