Wasn't the problem how to find the right, in this case,
"target.txt" in a situation like this:
/home/incal/test/dired:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 incal 10 May 23 22:41 target-link.txt -> target.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 incal 0 May 23 22:41 target.txt
Search for "target.txt". When you find it, use
(get-text-property (point) 'dired-filename)
Here it is nil:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 incal 10 May 23 22:41 target-link.txt -> target.txt
^
So search again, here it is t:
-rw-r--r-- 1 incal 0 May 23 22:41 target.txt
^
and that's the target you are looking for.
