Probably yes. But but why do you need to?
ln -s ./vendor/your/package/folder ./project/folder

Creating symbolic links from package
Hello people, Does anybody know how can I create symbolic links from my custom package in /vendor folder to any folder in the application?
Thank you

@Sinnbeck I know I can do it that way, but I'm in a Windows enviroment. I want the packageprovider to create the link. I want to do it that way because I don't want the package users to be messing with the files of my package directly. It will make my updates more easy.

@Terumi that's why laravel allows you to publish files. See how horizon does it

Who is horizon?

@Terumi https://laravel.com/docs/9.x/horizon It is a laravel package.
https://github.com/laravel/horizon/blob/5.x/src/HorizonServiceProvider.php#L78 Here is their code for copying over their assets.

Just for reference. Here is how laravel makes symlinks. But be aware that this is something that we as the users do, not a package that does it without our knowledge :)
