Yes, this is perfectly right, and also already discussed in the aforementioned PR. However, such links are scarce while links to annot files (or annot files themselves, for the matter) would really clutter the source directories. At least, it is how I see things, but I am very interested to gather input on the subject in order to reach consensus on how to settle the issue. Regards, Xavier
