Cannot open file, if the name contains a hash (#) #82

If a file's name contains a hash-sign, junction strips that sign and everything after it, when passing the name to an application. Seems like some broken URL-parsing?

File is /home/user/#Test --> Junction passes on the directory /home/user/ to be opened.
File is /home/user/Foo#Bar --> Junction passes on the file /home/user/Foo to be opened, which may not exist or be a different existing file.

it seems to be an issue also with "%", it cuts off everything after this character. This can be replicated by using Spotify for instance, when pressing login and the choosing the browser.
