Context menu item for Dolphin file manager that creates a soft symbolic link to a **_single_** selected file and puts it in the same directory as the target file. The link name has **"_lnk"** appended to the target's name before the extension (if any). "_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 directory. Works with a file or directory that has periods or spaces in any position.
