Other than linking to a directory instead of a file, I'm not sure what
you mean.
In any case, you can always file an enhancement request in Bugzilla -

It won't really work, because when you create a linked resource it is
assigned a "logical" name (that you specify) that is used to refer to it
in the project/workspace. If multiple selection was allowed, the UI
would get complex because you'd have to have a way to specify the
logical names for each of them.

Hi Mark,
I had pretty much the same problem. In the beginning I was thinking
about reusing the existing 'Import from Filesystem' dialog. But what we
do right now is linking the whole folder and using WorkingSets to
fianlly select the files we want to see.
Best,
Raphael
