I use symlinks inside bottles to share data between prefixes as well as expose it in appropriate places. eg.
C:/users/steamuser/Documents/ pointing to ~/Wine
or
C:/Program Files (x86)/GOG Galaxy/Games inside GOG Galaxy prefix pointing to ~/Games/GOG
so that a game could be launched inside a separate prefix.
When I tried to create new state using the versioning tool Bottles starting copying data the symlinks point to. In order to create a backup Bottles should honor symlinks.
To Reproduce
have a symlink inside the bottle
in the "versioning" click on "create new state"
Bottles does not replicate symlinks but copies their destination
