Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Drop-OSS/drop/issues/170

Many games as distributed with the ability to run on multiple platforms, just by changing which binary is called. Being able to tell drop how to run the version on each platform it supports is a massive quality of life boost, as it prevents people from having to version in duplicate their library, or work out how hardlinks work.

Do we think just asking users to symlink to make two copies of the same version would be an adequate solution?

If the symlink was created by drop, I think that might be acceptable
