Honestly, I'm not sure. But if they do, Explorer doesn't know about
it, and Windows shortcuts don't do any of it. Even plain old symlinks
are more capable than shortcuts; only Explorer really understands them
and not always then.
==================
Shortcuts, Junctions, Hard links and Symbolic links, all different.
Symbolic links are the only ones that can span different volumes AFAIK.

* Simplicity -- the Finder integration with the
OS, the desktop database,
etc. Move items around, aliases still point to them. Even to other drives,
even to other machines on the same network!
Not that I'm any fan of Windows, but don't NTFS junctions do this? They're a
kind of cross-volume hard link.
