Using Symbolic links to store the skins on a different drive?

[Voyager]

So, I seem to recall someone mentioning that you could use some form of symbolic linking to store the aircraft skin files on a hard drive when the main game is still stored on an SSD, and was wondering if anyone 

A) remembers how to actually do this, and 

B) if this is actually a workable idea?

 

Wanted to set up and do a Flying Circus campaign, and was downloading all of the various available FC skin packs. I'm at about 14 GB of zipped files, and I'm a little concerned that it doesn't seem to be slowing down. And I haven't even gotten into the WWII era stuff yet...

 

Thank you,
