How to search for symlinks pointing to directories?

Hi,

I don't see there is a way to search for symlinks pointing to
directories natively in find.

This can be done by using -exec and test. But I want to avoid using
-exec. Is there a way to such a search natively in find? Thanks.

       -type c
              File is of type c:

              b      block (buffered) special

              c      character (unbuffered) special

              d      directory

              p      named pipe (FIFO)

              f      regular file

              l      symbolic link; this is never true if the -L option or the
                     -follow option is in effect, unless the symbolic link  is
                     broken.  If you want to search for symbolic links when -L
                     is in effect, use -xtype.

              s      socket

              D      door (Solaris)
