Presumably you are using the notmuch-mutt script from notmuch's
contrib collection.

https://git.notmuchmail.org/git/notmuch/plain/contrib/notmuch-mutt/notmuch-mutt

This specifically creates the symlinks as the output.

notmuch itself, however, usually returns the files that
it found:

notmuch search --output=files

which produced your link folder.
