Context menu item for Dolphin file manager that creates a soft symbolic link to a **_single_** selected file and puts it in the same folder as the target file. The link name has **"_lnk"** appended to the target's name before the extension. "_lnk" is added to the link name because the the **ln** command does not allow a file and its soft symlink to have the same name _and_ be located in the same folder. Designed to work with a file that has an extension, e.g. My File.**_txt_**. Will work with a file that has no extension, but the link ends up with the file name as its "false" extension (see Usage below). Works with a file that has spaces in its name (or extension...who does that?)
