This is what all LASH apps should do, short of more clever external
resource management built in to LASH itself.

The purpose of a LASH session (ideally) is to restore.  Always.  No
matter what.  Pointing to a bunch of random other crap around your hard
drive is not the way to accomplish this.

Maybe LASH needs more clever management of external links with some kind
of "flattening" script for archival/distribution, but until that time it
all stays in the session dir.
