Just curious has any one actually implemented such a flag for BSDish systems? If not, is there a technical reason why this flag should not be added?Should there be an option for touching the link and leaving the original file?Most likely yes, however, I don't know of any way to implement such an option in portable Posix code, on GNU/Linux, or on Solaris. FreeBSD can do it, though: its touch has a "-h" option that does what you want, and GNU touch could be modified to support -h on BSDish systems.
