Why shortcuts to spaces or docs are not visible via CIFS?

Hello,

Since it seems impossible to reference the same object (for instance a document) in more than one Space, yesterday I did some tests using the "shortcut" feature.

A shortcut behaves like a link, contained in a Space, pointing to another Space or another Document. Alfresco seems also to maintain a reference  of all shortcuts created (so if I delete the original document, the shortcuts are automatically deleted), and this is OK.

Initially this seemed to address my requirement, but then I discovered that shortcuts are not shown when accessing Alfresco via CIFS.

Why does this happen? Is there a technical reason why shortcuts are not visible in CIFS?

Maybe a bug?

Shortcuts are not visible through CIFS and WebDAV. AFAIK just have not been exposed. Although should be able to display it as a Windows shortcut or *nix symlink. Worth investigating?
