see title. Emby should follow symbolic links/shortcuts so that a directory can be created that contains links to media files

What's wrong with .stem files ?

Symlinks working or not should be a function of the operating system, not Emby.

Correct.  The whole point is that those are supposed to be transparent to the consumer.

Emby DOES follow symbolic links - it doesn't know any different.

As has been said above, to create the symlink, you need to use the OS.
