I'm using the LS_COLORS settings I've been using previously with "ls", which includes "ln=target" so that links are colored to match the target. However, this doesn't seem to work with exa.

You can see in the screenshot below that the color is correct for ls, but not for exa. Maybe this isn't inherently supported?

I didn’t know it was possible to do this in GNU ls and it seems totally undocumented, but I can attest that’s indeed what ls does by looking at its source code. It is indeed not supported (yet).

Setting "ln=target" highlights a link in the same color as the referred
file. Dangling/orphaned links are always colored using the specified
"or=" color.
