Properties Dialog

In Dolphin, for symlinks there is a "Show Target" item in the context menu.

This menu item is missing for symlinks placed on the Desktop.

Similarly, it would be nice if in the Properties Dialog, the path to the symlink ("Points to:") would be clickable (e.g. see attached screenshot) or had a "Show target" button.

Can you file a separate bug for that? Thanks!
