Shortcut Items (symbolic link or hard link) for Proton Drive
I'm using Google Drive along with Proton Drive and find Proton Drive missing a feature that I think is useful.
Google Drive has a feature called 'Create shortcut', it seems creating a symbolic link (not hard link) to another location.
The problem is when organizing my data, sometimes I see that some items should be at different locations and they're the same things.

I want to be able to add shortcuts to commonly used folders in the sidebar.
Because there is no Proton Drive Linux sync ability, I frequently upload certain files and folders to the Drive website for backup. It's incredibly tedious to slowly click back and forth through the folder hierarchy, waiting for each page to load, to get to the same folders over and over again.

This is useful for when you are managing data and have files that belong in multiple locations but you do not want to waste storage space by having two copies of it. I still need to know that it belongs in both places so I am currently creating a proton doc and naming it as a placeholder but this is not optimal.
