#Quick desktop download windows

Ubuntu nevertheless supports desktop folders, however through a Gnome Shell extension that currently has limitations. When you are actually working, the desktop is covered most of the time. For 'quick access', the desktop may not be the ideal place. Gnome Shell, which Ubuntu uses by default, actually does not support icons on the desktop. Is something like this possible, and if so, how can it be done? I want the folders to reside where I create them, but to have quick access to them from the desktop.

However, I don't want the folders on the desktop to having PATH=home/skilz420/Desktop/'foldername', instead I want the visible folders on the desktop to have PATH=home/skilz420/'foldername'. In other words, I would see a folder icon on the desktop with the same name as the three above. However, I would like to be able to see these folders On The Desktop but still 'live' in their current location. I don't necessarily want to create a shortcut or a symlink directly.

I can navigate to the Home directory and see these folders there. If I open up Nautilus or the folder/file viewer from the desktop. Now if I ls again, these folders or directories appear. Now, let's say I create 3 directories at this location mkdir Workspace Desktop Downloads Pictures snap Templates These would be the default or most common folders within a clean installation of Ubuntu. Let's say I have 2 or 3 folders in my home directory and I ls into it. I'm not trying to create symlinks between objects here. Unix based systems have symlinks or symbolic links which is completely different. Now, I do understand that Linux is not Windows, and that it has no concept of shortcuts.
