Symlink support

[cameronmcefee]

@achicu suggested I open an issue for this here. Does not appear to be possible to symlink an individual plugin folder.

@cameronmcefee Could you tell us more about the use case for this?

[cameronmcefee]

For a handful of reasons I'd prefer not to store my repo in the plugin folder:

• My plugin is compiled
• My plugin supports many platforms so its full of code that is not relevant to XD
• I keep all my repos together elsewhere
• It's a pain to cd into a path that deep

If I want to keep my repo separate and compile for the Application Support folder I have a few options:

• Compile directly to ~/…/plugins/myplugin
• Compile to repo/build/ then copy to ~/…/plugins/myplugin on every build
• symlink repo/build/ to ~/…/plugins/myplugin once then compile to repo/build/

For simplicity sake, I prefer the latter.

Thanks for the context!

For the time being, it would be worth checking out xdpm's watch feature:

Closing this, as it isn't an issue with the samples in this repo. We're now tracking API feedback on the developer forums:
