When using a shared symlink folder in the project folder

1. I disabled the Search: Follow Symlinks setting.

• but, Project_2/symlink_folder still shows up in global search. (command shift f)
• Is it cached somewhere?

2. In any project folder, if you execute go to definition on the symlink_folder code within the source code, the file in the Project_*/symlink_folder path will be opened.

• Is there any way to open the original file?

Apologies for getting to this so late, I seemed to have overlooked it.

The first bug that you mentioned is a duplicate of #180087. For the second issue, I'm not sure if I fully understand the problem. Can you provide some example code?
