Actually, there already is a possibility to add any command that requires source and target in preferences dialog. Syntax is like this: ln -s %p %d %p is the source file and %d destination. The command asks for destination if it is started from the menu and appears also in drag&drop menu and in sort manager. Symlink command is a typical usage of this feature and it was added to the default commands, so you can just reset he editors list if you don't see it. Please test if it fits your needs. Feedback is welcome.
