"Link", "Alias" or "Create shortcut" in WP Media Library

enter image description here

Introduction

Here you can see a folder structure within a media library (Wordpress). Now, I want to make it very userfriendly to make it possible, that a file can be in multiple folders. The user should know, that the files are not directly "copied" in the file system.

Instead, it should work like the Windows Explorer: There is one file fixed to a folder and you can create a shortcut through the context menu.

Possible approachs:

  • "Hold any key to create a file shortcut" -> "Link 1 file" (Window Explorer)
  • "Hold any key to link the files" -> "Link 1 file" (Link = Linux?)
  • "Hold any key to create a file alias" -> "Link 1 file" (MAC)

Do you know some better solutions?

After the shortcut is created, the file is still in the "Wup" folder, and the "Test" folder contains this shortcut.
