Can links folder be relocated to store shortcuts in XYplorer data folder to avoid sharing them with windows explorer?

It's one of the ideas of the Links folder to share something with Explorer. :)

Hi and thanks for reply
actually the idea is yours, Xyplorer is an independent file manger and should have its own favorite in the tree

Oh, right. But I currently want to keep it as it is.
