How can I make fzf-lua's oldfiles with cwd_only = true include files that are located within symbolic-linked directories?

In my project, I have a symbolic link to another directory, and I'd like fzf-lua to treat those files as part of the current working directory when using the oldfiles picker.

You’ll most likely need to create a custom oldfiles for that, enumerate all :oldfiles, test for symbolic links using uv.fs_stat, resolve the link and then test for cwd_oniy (or send to make_entry.file` with the correct cwd and let it do the filtering for you).

projectA/
├── main.lua
├── config/   ---- link to projectB
│   └─── jsonData/
│        ├── default.json
│        └── custom.json
projectB/
├── jsonData/
│   ├── default.json
│   └── custom.json

the path of default.json in vim.v.oldfiles is 'projectB/jsonData/default.json', and I use uv.fs_lstat, the type is file, only this type of path projectA/config is link, Is there a way to test default.json is from a link directory and add to entry?

Only with a custom picker with different logic, not very hard to do using fzf_exec.
