That would have been a genius idea actually it would solve all of my problems. However, it seems like Android doesn't allow hard or soft links through SELinux. I tried doing it in termux in root mode but it told me "Function not implemented."

I tried it on termux and it says "permission denied", and I have access to write on both folders on termux

I think it's Android itself. I can only do symlinks in the /data partition not /storage/emulated according to this. And I tried it and it seems to be true.
` ~ $ pwd
/data/data/com.termux/files/home
~ $ touch ok
~ $ ln ok ok.ok
ln: failed to create hard link 'ok.ok' => 'ok': Permission denied
~ $ ln ok -s ok.ok
~ $ ls
ok ok.ok
~ $ cd /storage/emulated/0
.../emulated/0 $ touch ok
.../emulated/0 $ ln ok -s ok.ok
ln: failed to create symbolic link 'ok.ok': Permission denied
