You can create a symlink in Linux thru the Konsole. You will need to know the file pathway for the file you wish to link to as well as the the file pathway where you want the link to be located.

The syntax for creating the symlink is:

$ ln -s <the pathway of the file/folder you want to link to> <the pathway of the file/folder where you want the link to be located>

Here is an example:

$ ln -s /home/mbaselice/Documents/test /home/mbaselice/Desktop

this will create a shortcut to the file named test inside Documents on my desktop.
