Question 4

Where is this icon commonly used?

Accepted Answer

In modern applications like Unix file systems or Windows shortcuts, you'll see this icon when working with symbolic links and file references. It appears in development environments when creating symlinks, or in file managers like Finder when displaying alias files and shortcut references to original documents.

Question 5

What does this icon communicate to users?

Accepted Answer

From a file system perspective, the file-symlink symbol communicates more than just "connected document" - it specifically indicates file indirection, reference relationships, and the ability to access files through alternative paths. This distinction helps users understand they're working with file pointers rather than actual file copies or independent documents.

Question 6

How do I implement this icon?

Accepted Answer

This icon works naturally in file system components where it represents symbolic links and file reference management. Combine it with shadcn/ui's Badge components for link indicators or Card components for reference file displays. The arrow should emphasize redirection when used in file management interfaces to clearly indicate link relationships.
