I have been experimenting, and made some progress. Using LinuxMint. If I right-click and unmount the external drive before turning off the PC, everything stays good, no broken links.
With Ubuntu I was not always able to unmount by right-clicking. With LinuxMint, I occasionally get two different desktop icons for the same external drive. When that happens I am out of luck, nothing to do but reboot and hope for the best.
