not a standalone command. And as far as I know,
symbolic links always take the icon of the target file, like a mirror.
Windows shortcuts can have arbitrary icons though.
But a shortcut is not a symbolic link.
If you just want to distinguish symlinks from normal files, then maybe this can help.
Open
Tools > Configuration > Color Filters, click
New, paste this into the newly-focused textbox:
attr:junction //colorize links , and press ENTER.
Then
without clicking or pressing anything else, click "
Text..." to choose a text color, and click "
Back..." to choose a background color.

I setup the color filter, but my symbolic link is not colorized ?

[Why aren't I surprised?]
is the link colorized if you use this pattern instead?

Why are you surprised; were you not confident in your answer ?

Will you be surprised when I just delete such postings in the future?

Sammay that pattern doesn't colorize the symbolic links either, they remain the same as other files, which is indistinguishably ?

Heh, don't know why it's not working.
• post a screen shot of your Color Filter list.
• Select the symbolic link that isn't getting colorized, enable the Size, Ext (and preferably Junction Target) columns
• then post a screenshot of that item, including those column fields.

Create a new column, set the property as a link target, then set the column special property as a junction target; what should I notice ?

I've attached a screen shot of my junction column & a partial screen shot of my color filter list; I hope it helps ?

Huh, Junction Target property column is always empty for me, even for junctions (though the same property is good when displayed in info tip of both junctions and symlinks)
btw, Symbolic Link targets are displayed if you set the property "Link Target" in a column.
The method I described; is the method one should use to create a column that shows symbolic links / junctions, no ?

Let me know when you find the other half of your screenshot and some words that make sense.

Compare
your screen shot with my screen shot, you don't need to see the complete screen shot because, you can simply relate your screen shot with my screen shot.
Lets analyze, for example; your junction links are in a purple color under the column Junction target, that is not the case with mine ?

And now we guess what's your color filter setup looks like?
