Folders and files can be linked to locations in the file system outside of the project's location. These special folders and files are called linked resources.

To create a linked folder:

2. From the pop-up menu, select command link New > Folder.

3. Specify the name of the folder as it will appear in the workbench. This name can be different from the name of the folder in the file system.

6. Enter a file system path, or click Browse to select a folder in the file system.

7. Click Finish.
