Yes, even though there is no "symbolic" link concept in OpenCms, so
basically each link is the same file. It's more like a "hard link". To be
more precise, the DB strcucture of OpenCms allows you to map a resource
(content) to multiple places in the VFS tree. So there is no "Original" and
"Link" but only one original that can be accessed through multiple paths.
BTW properties can be either individual or shared. And you only need to
attach the locale property on one top level folder to be valif for all files
within the folder.

Ok it may sound confusing. Best way is probably to try it for yourself, you
should see what I mean then.

Best Regards,
Alex.
