Post From: Grouping chartbooks

just ran into similar issues. would have been nice if shortcuts to chartbooks could be placed in 'group' folders so the actual chartbook would be in the 'data' folder, and a shortcut to it could be placed in any/all relevant 'group' folders.

luckily, "symbolic links" worked instead.

after adding the 'symlinks', chartbooks residing in the 'data' folder can now be accessed from more than one group without the headache of maintaining duplicate chartbooks, and if a chartbook is no longer needed in a group, the symlink in that group's folder can be deleted without affecting the original chartbook (be careful with this! https://superuser.com/questions/167076/how-can-i-delete-a-symbolic-link-in-windows).

to create 'symlinks', use something like "Link Shell Extension" (https://schinagl.priv.at/nt/hardlinkshellext/linkshellextension.html), or create them manually at the command line using 'mklink' (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/mklink).
