I think we should disable softlink browsing, as they do not link to a
position within the snapshot, but browse to a position outside of the
snapshot giving the impression that that spot is also present in the
snapshot while it is not. At least it should give a warning

Bug description:
When browsing soft links in snapshots they take you to the current
directories/files without notice unless they're relative and completely
contained in the snapshot. They should have a specific display and browsing
them should be disabled since they might take you outside the snapshot. Even
when they would work as expected it would be best showing them as
non-browseable soft links.
