It's what WSL Debian creates when I 'ln -s' inside its own filesystem.
Windows' own "dir" command shows it as
22.03.2021 22:34 <JUNCTION> link_to_a [...]
But it cannot do anything else with it. Even fsutil doesn't work on
that thing:
C:\prg\test>fsutil reparsePoint query \\wsl$\Debian\home\hbbro
Fehler: Unzulässige Funktion.
