Hi Everyone,
Is it possible to create a Symbolic link pointing to baselined version of a file in SCM? 

If so how would I go about it?

What are you trying to achieve? How would you achieve this in other SCM systems?

Daniel,

I'm going to guess you are maybe thinking something like ClearCase where a user could create a true *nix-style symbolic link, or a Windows-shortcut, to a ClearCase-extended-pathname for an element like 'ln -s /vobs/path/to/some/element@@/main/release_1/10 ./link'

If so, then no, I know of no way to do such a thing in RTC. ClearCase was able to use it due to MVFS making that possible (and only if your user was in a dynamic view with a correct config-spec for selection.)

I promoted Winston's comment to an answer, because I am reasonably sure that was what Daniel had in mind.
