Allow Symlinks in user_files Directory for File Table Function

Why it matters

This feature enables users to reference files via symlinks inside the user_files directory for the file table function. It increases flexibility and convenience by allowing indirect file referencing, which simplifies file management and usage without duplicating data.

How to use it

Place symbolic links pointing to desired files inside the user_files directory and use the file table function to read these files as usual. The system will now correctly follow the symlinks when accessing the files.
