I would like to suggest the availability of shortcuts to files and folders (like those used in Windows) also in addition to the currently available symbolic links. Symbolic links do have their useful place, but they can also be a real pain in the ass on occasion. For example, I regularly have to jump back and forth several times during the day between two or more folders. Using Ubuntu symlinks for this purpose just takes me deeper and deeper into an artificial directory structure with an ever increasing path length. Windows type shortcuts, which jumps directly to another folder using the normal path, would work much better in this case. Please consider this. It would help a lot.

Regards
Johan Kriel
