Automatically generated hard links with file name as shown in project.

Is your feature request related to a problem?
When opening a file located in a project that isn't a BNDB, but is related metadata, rules, original samples etc, the GUID filename is the only way to access it. This makes it confusing to have more than one file open in other tools.

Concrete examples: I use Sublime Text to edit yara rules, but I also want to store my yara rules that pertain to a malware family in that malware family's project. When opening those yara rules, the name of the file looks like this:

Or, I'm using 010editor on the original sample that is stored in the project. The tabs look like this:

I think one way to solve this is to create a folder based on the GUID, then you can put a hard link with the file name in that folder and still maintain the ability to have identically named files in the project.

And you can then open files with the correct filenames. And because hard links, there is only one actual data storage location.

This is opened with a hard link pointing at the file in the project.

You get an added benefit of your other tool being able to detect file type on its own.
