To be honest, I hesitated to call it a "feature" for a *nix FM. ;)

Symlinks works (it was broken in bookmarks, now fixed). You can however not edit symlinks (will add to TODO).
Default modifier when drag-and-drop is ALT (see settings), hold ALT before dropping and you will have an option to move, copy and link.

I would suggest a "new symlink" (similar to "new file") context menu item
popping up a dialog with two editable fields. (symlink name and target path).
Or something similar. Same dialog can be used for editing.
It should accept relative and absolute paths.
Drag drop makes it diffucult to create symlink to
distant paths. And it is prone to errors/mistakes.
Same dialog may too be used for confirmation of drag drop symlinking
or it can allow modification.
