Feature: Make a symbolic link for Patter->Singer

If I have a nice singing call, and I'd like to use it as patter, I'd like to setup an alias from the Patter version to the Singer version. MacOS aliases don't work (and I'd argue, are not what we want when the MP3 file moves). Instead, what works now is a symbolic link.

But, I swear, I always have to look up the order of filenames on the command line, and most people don't know how to use the command line.

So, depending on what the cursor is over in the songTable (or palette slot?), exactly one of the following right-click Context Menu items would be appropriate:

For Singing Call: "Use Singing Call as Patter (create symlink in Patter folder)"
For Patter: "Use Patter as Singing Call (create symlink in Singing folder)". <-- maybe we don't need this one at all, it's rare

The link would have the same name as the audio file linked TO.

If the cursor is already over a link, add this item to the right-click Context Menu:

For link: "Remove link (will not remove original audio file)"

And, for all links, perhaps:

auto add a TAG that looks like a chain, to indicate that it's a link!

The fact that Qt does not have a way to follow MacOS aliases (although it can enumerate files in a folder that might be aliases) has bit me in the past, when I made an alias and expected it to work. And then I remember: "oh yeah, I have to use a symbolic link". Then I have to go look up the syntax (which I keep forgetting, because I rarely make symbolic links), navigate there (it's 10 levels down -- yerp!), and do it. It would be much nicer to be able to do this from inside SquareDesk with a right-click.

Also, perhaps:

For Singing Calls used as Patter, default the loop points to the something reasonable, since we probably already know where all the sections are! And, maybe auto-run Segmentino on it in the background, too?
