Depends on the promise settings. There are too many choices to make

1. what happens if the link does not point to anything on the other side?
2. what if the link is to a directory. Do we treat it as a link or a directory?

etc

Difficult to summarize all this. Look through the options and remember that the 
default
value for all boolean promise body parts is false.
