There's no reason that putting the file name in the registry (or an env var 
or other config file) makes it less readable?

It's not automated, but you can code your program to follow the link if you 
want. (Granted, that's not usually the problem symlinks are used to solve, 
but it's not an awful solution for something like a playlist or a run queue 
(in the POV sense of the word). :-)  Think of the startup menu, for example, 
or the send-to menu.
