In summary, this was an unintentional and unsupported feature with several risks. We're not going to add active support for it, as it has high risk of funds loss when used incorrectly.
Instead, see #11348 to enable having wallets in a separate directory from the blockchain.
Describe the issue
My wallet.dat is on a different drive than my bitcoin config directory, and having wallet.dat be a symlink has always worked.
Can you reliably reproduce the issue?
If so, please list the steps to reproduce below:
mv ~/.bitcoin/wallet.dat ~/file && ln -sf ~/.bitcoin/wallet.dat ~/file
bitcoin-qt
Expected behaviour
It should work transparently, same as in 0.14 (I think).
Actual behaviour
"Error loading wallet wallet.dat. -wallet filename must be a regular file."
What version of bitcoin-core are you using?
0.15.0.1-gfb7b5293844
