This seems reasonable, especially considering user familiarity from other environments. The Dolphin maintainers can consider it.

I don't know if this can help with the development of this feature but I've wrote a service menu that does exactly that, it adds a "Create link" action that creates a link, I will attach a screenshot of how it looks and also the file Created attachment 187578 [details]

Created attachment 187114 [details] "Create a Link" option from Nautilus in GNOME SUMMARY Windows and Gnome on their file manager have an action in the right click menu that they call "Create a shortcut" and "Create a Link" respectively, and they do the same thing, they just create a shortcut of a folder or of a file that I can easily copy/cut and paste it on the desktop or on another folder, I'm very used to doing that. So my feature request is to add the "Create a Link/Shortcut" option to the right click menu in Dolphin too, not only to make it easier for me but for all the people that are transitioning especially from Windows to Linux with KDE that are used to having this option. I know there are other ways to make a shortcut in KDE, but having the "Create a Link" action would be handy Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora 43 KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.20.0 Qt Version: 6.10.1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Thanks!
