I've tried to find some info about this but it's not clear, how can i do that? I am on Linux. Most important thing, is that i want to know how to use a terminal on the phoen. Is there an app for that? do i have to connect via usb/SSH?

There is an app terminal but i think you need to enable developer mode to be able to use it.

Once you have installed dev mode, you can also connect your phone to the computer in developer mode and connect to it using ssh. Personally I find it a lot more convenient than the terminal app, because, you know, a real keyboard and a larger screen.

You are right also, i saw that when enabling the dev mode. One can define the IP adress for the USB connection and the wifi also!

At first you have to activate developer mode in settings. This automatically installs terminal app to your phone. Now you can create symlinks as usual in linux.

ln -s /path-1/original-file /path-2/symlink

Another solution is to use cargo-dock. It's a two panel file browser. At the right panel open /home/nemo and at the left side open sdcard, longtap the original file or folder and choose "link to other side" in the lower peek-menu.
