Hello @64m814rr4 , welcome to the forum.
In my personal experience, the CryptPad team or an open source project in general won't or can't implement all the feature requests. Often it also takes a long time because of a lack of funding.
So it's important to give additional information for an idea. For example: personally I know the linking feature from windows explorer or from soft links from Linux but they are used in special cases or in large directories. I haven't missed them at CryptPad yet because I neither have special cases nor large directories there.
Maybe you could tell something more about your idea? This could convince others. At the moment I think others would say "nice to have", which is a rather low setting.
