I appreciate the effort in providing a solution to this problem. But, as I came to know, the "make link" is not really missing from Nautilus, but just disable by default.

After that, "create link" option comes back to contextual menu. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gedit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1650325 Title: Make Link missing from right click menu Status in gedit package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: In Ubuntu 16.10, the "Make Link" command is missing from the right click Nautilus menu.
