Oh?  *goes and tries to create one on a USB stick* No.  Besides, IIRC you 
cannot even create symlinks to another partition.  Copying a symlink will 
copy the _linked_ file.  So to call this "symlink" is a little... uhm... 
preposterous.

Plus, on a page linked from the link you posted, it says that it is 
only supported from Vista onwards.  So you must be kidding me.

Ciao,
Dscho
