Hi,

Wine 10.20 introduced support for CreateSymbolicLinkA/W recently that fixes [WineHQ bug #44948](https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44948). Do you guys intend to do it here as well? I tried implementing it by looking at the implementation of Wine but it quickly got out of hand.

Hello @ognkrmms, the response at https://github.com/ValveSoftware/wine/issues/305#issuecomment-3665108599 is equally valid here.

If you find a game that's having a hard time due to the missing functionality, then add a note with your findings to the relevant compatibility report for that game, otherwise it's not worth the dev time overhead to backport the commits and it can wait for the next major rebase.
