Could treemacs use a specific icon for symbolic links ? #1181

Hi

Thanks for treemacs, it's a great way to navigate in complex projects.

I'm working on a project where several links in different directories target the same file.

The problem I have is that treemacs shows these links as regular files. There's no hint to show that they are actually symbolic links. I often get confused and do conflicting editions of these files because they are actually links to the same file. (I agree these links are bad design, but I cannot do much about it).

So my request is: would it be possible to show a dedicated icon for symbolic links instead of regular file icon ?

All the best
