For Windows, I know that a file can be put into multiple folders without using the extra space of copies by using symbolic links. Apparently the same thing can be achieved on Android if it's a rooted device, but the symbolic links are not compatible between Windows and Android.

I use Syncthing to sync my folders between Windows and Android and what I want to achieve is that the symbolic links created from windows should also automatically work on Android, and vice verca. Is there some kind of way to achieve this despite the incompatibility, or maybe a completely different approach?
