Hello
Readline apparently just reads what link point's to. :A does more,
gets where physically file is located, so if link points to location
that includes another simlink, it will be somewhat resolved it too.

Is there a way to do a basic link read with Zsh?

Best regards,
Sebastian Gniazdowski

Use the zstat interface.

zmodload -F zsh/stat b:zstat
zstat -A array +link $file

Seems quite reasonable (one thing, it generates a place when error can
occur, i.e. zsh/stat can be unavailable), thanks
