I have bash scripts that can read windows links and open the target file and/or folder. I've been able to get Wine file explorer to call those bash scripts so it can now work with windows links. However, from mspaint using the open/save file dialog, when I try to access a windows link that points to a folder I get an error as shown below. If the windows link points to a file that mspaint can open, mspaint will open that file. What changes and/or additions do I need to make to the registry to have the Wine file open/save dialog be able to navigate windows links pointing to folders and go to the folder the windows link points to?

Re: WINE file open/save dialog using bash script to parse windows links
It looks like you're experiencing bug 49498.
Re: WINE file open/save dialog using bash script to parse windows links
Apparently nothing has changed for that bug since it was first reported in 2020. Is it possible to work around that bug by having the Wine file open/save dialog call a bash script on a link. I had a similar problem with the Wine file manager and was able to get it to call a bash script for windows links by changing the registry.
Sometimes, I also get the error "access denied for..." and then it lists the target folder hen I double click on a windows link in the Wine open/save dialog.

Unfortunately, I don't know a workaround for the problem.
