What problem was encountered?

I'm trying to figure out how to create a symlink via the azure-storage-file FileService interface. Ideally, the symlink target doesn't need to exist, but I can work around that if need be. To be clear, I want the symlink uploaded, not the content of the symlink'ed file.

I should also clarify I am talking about a soft symlink here.

Have you found a mitigation/solution?

No, I haven't been able to find a good example of how to accomplish this.
