create a symbolic link to FILE.  It is an error to specify `link'
as the action if FILE is a remote file.  If ALLOW-SAME-FRAME is
nil, any drops on FRAME itself will be ignored.

This function might return immediately if no mouse buttons are
currently being held down.  It should only be called upon a
`down-mouse-1' (or similar) event.

This function is only supported on X Windows, macOS/GNUstep, and Haiku;
on all other platforms it will signal an error."
