This is clearly a bug, not a feature. I don't know anything about snap, what I 
did was to just upgrade my Ubuntu from 19.04 and 19.10 and suddenly even file 
saving did not work. I used a hidden folder as a mount point because *I want 
it to be hidden*, and I created a non-hidden soft link into somewhere inside:

lrwxrwxrwx  1 michael michael       20 Oct 23  2018  server -> .server/home/
michael

I just opened the soft link "server" as in the past and it suddenly pops out 
"permission denied" which I'm sure that I have the appropriate permissions to 
the folder involved as I can open the folder in other apps.

Your so-called "solution" is not a solution for me because I don't want to 
have another visible folder to make my home folder clumsy. I'm using Google 
Chrome (the one provided by Google) as a workaround until a "proper fix" 
arrives.
