It would also introduce nothing but harm on operating systems / filesystems which do not support links.
That shouldn't be a problem, as zic does not rely on operating-system links to support its 'Link' command. zic uses hard links if available, otherwise symbolic links if available, otherwise copies.
i would simply output the name of the link, maybe like so
The following information has been given: ... Therefore TZ='Asia/Phnomh_Penh' will be used. It is a link pointing to the dataset TZ='Asia/Bangkok'.
OK, I see. You can get the effect you want in tzdb 2021c, by using the command 'tzselect -t zone'. However, the -t option is not documented as it wasn't clear to me how this should work in general. Perhaps it should be documented and/or generalized.

Thanks for mentioning this. I see I've made this mistake on multiple occasions. My apologies. Proposed patch attached, and installed into the development repository.
