Creation of linked file or folder is simple and can be doen any time (if you use cubemx that’s not recomanded)
it can be done by menu”new file/folder” -> advance->link ...” etc
delateation just selct and press del or derigth clcik del (this only delete the link not the target file)
but it can be much simpler to use drag and drop to add new link

basicaly go into the explorer or equivalent (win linux mac work all os work)
grab the folder to link say “wher i have installed CUBE_MX”/Driver/STM32F4xx_HAL_Driver/Inc
drop it in the “virtual” or the folder of the porject wher you want it
eclispe will show you a popup select” link to file and folder” then select relative path absolute or use any variable you want voila.
you may try the other option for learning what it is ;)

Note that virtual folder appear with a “white rectable” decorator
Note that all linked file/folder appear with the link “arrow” decorator

in a project you can view and edit the exiting (or broken) linked resources by going into poject properties -> Resource -> linked resources”
