[Toybox] Maybe a ln addition if possible?

I know this is not in the Posix 'ln' standard at present, or really a 
toybox problem, but i'm becoming frustrated with the number of links i'm 
having to manually recreate when a set of script source files has it's 
version changed after being ammended.

As an example:

source file is akdjagh-1.2.34, a version 1.2.34 of akdjagh
the created link is the shortened name of akdjagh

as time goes on the version of akdjagh changes to akdjagh-1.2.45,
it's the same file, just with additions, it's not as if it's being 
replaced with a completely new file!

and the link dies....

Is there a way of having this not happen or deal with it somehow?

Surely others come across this problem.

thanks
