Thanks. I use that in the function mentioned.

In my Rox Filer I have the option to "Show Target" of a symbolic link,
that one is useful function, and I assumed that it must exist in Emacs
but did not find it.

It is like jumping to other file in Dired.

Is there maybe some Dired function to jump exactly to specific file name?
