Hi TC team

I think it would be great if Totalcmd could follow `*.lnk` shortcuts when doing Find Files under Windows. This is especially interesting when "Find text" option is on.

Consider this case:

Code:
- I create the file `c:\repo\notes.txt` containing the word "Hello".
- I create the shortcut `c:\work\notes.lnk` pointing to `c:\repo\notes.txt`.
- In Totalcmd I step into `c:\work` and initiate Find Files (Commands -> Search).
  - Search for: *txt
  - [x] Find text: Hello
  - [x] Follow shortcuts (<-- NEW OPTION, default is ON)
- Totalcmd should show `c:\work\notes.lnk` in Search results.


Hope that was somehow useful.


Best regards,

Alex

Already possible:
1. Install packer plugin CopyLinktarget
2. After installation set manually properties string to 384.
3. Pick "Search archives" in search dialog window.
