Not that I'm any fan of Windows, but don't NTFS junctions do this? They're a
kind of cross-volume hard link.
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.
