That's Windows recognizing the LNK file, and launching the actual DAT file
into LDLite. LDLite doesn't know a thing about LNK files.
What I meant was whether or not LDLite would recognize a referenced file
which was actually a LNK, not a DAT file. So if I made a submodel called
submodel.dat, and created a LNK to submodel, called alias.lnk, and I tried
to use alias in an LDLite file, would LDLite resolve the reference? The
answer is: no, LDLite does not resolve the reference.
But that wasn't exactly what Jamie was talking about. So never mind.

Only with single-file models. If you create a multi-file model in a
subdirectory other than the standard three (ldraw\models\, ldraw\parts\,
ldraw\p\), you must supply the directory path to resolve the references to
the subfiles.
LDLite will handle non-standard locations better, because it switches to
the directory of the main file before rendering.
