And actually, the more I think about it...EVERYTHING in the playlist view is actually a shortcut.. The Soups view has the real MP3 tunes reference. If you delete it there...then its really gone. But in the playlist view....everything is a shortcut(or alias or symbolic link or whatever you wanna call it).. So therefore..the windows analogy makes sense. If you COPY a folder...it should copy everything underneath it as well...as a second set of shortcuts..(where the 2nd set of folder-shortcuts are relative so that they point to their own tree and not to the origination tree) and the tune short cuts get copied outright. And if you want to do what Emplode currently does...you should have something that says "create shortcut" instead of "copy" that actually just copies the playlist in question, having it reference the same set of underlying folders or tunes as the origination playlist...
