Yes, this is the way how it is implemented in current gcmd file list -
just the container holding paths to all files in the dir. With some work
it can be generalised to become vfolder - container with paths pointing
to ANY file/dir
BTW making symlinks is not a good idea - it's slow and clutters user
disks...

vfolders should be created via toolbar/menu/key-shortcut (from GUI
perspective) and stored in 'gcmd.ini' file between sessions... Think of
them like bookmarks
