You can run a function from a glob qualifier by using the "e"
qualifier or its shortcut "+". So it's possible to do almost anything
you want, it just might be slow.
This one shouldn't be too laggy.
zmodload zsh/stat b:zstat
function _ { # Chosen as a short name
local -a L
zstat -A L +link $REPLY && [[ -h $L ]]
}
# Print all symlinks to symlinks
print -r -- *(+_)
# Print symlinks to symlinks to directories
print -r -- *(+_-/)
In the last case (as Lawrence noted in a message that came in while I
was typing this) the "-" is going to run down the entire symlink chain
to find the ultimate target, i.e., you can't tell if there are exactly
two symlinks, just that there are at least two.
