Eclipse to Visual Studio Code Linked Files

Hi,

Started developing in 2015 and used Eclipse since day 1.  However I am a Visual Studio Engineering by trade (long time ago).  

Anyway new PC, so thought maybe I should make the jump to VSC rather than install Eclipse.  So far, so good.  However I used heavily the Link File feature in Eclipse to share utility files (before all the new barrel features arrived).

I am still maintaining most of the 50 projects, started in 2015/16, and don't want to spend lots of time re-architecting.  So is there a way to recreate the link file feature in VSC?

Thanks

Chris
