Resolve symlinks when previewing files

When viewing symbolic links, a preview of the symlink's path is shown, along with the recognition that it's a symlink. I think it'd be nice to attempt to resolve the symlinks as they would be resolved in the filesystem, and possibly also support behavior similar to markdown links (linking to other branches or repositories).
