I think xdg.eclass should handle symlinks
Comment 2 Andreas Sturmlechner gentoo-dev 2019-06-27 08:28:54 UTC 
The /usr/share/applications/*desktop files installed by LibreOffice are indeed symlinks.

Re-assigning to xdg.eclass maintainers and adding leio who committed the most recent changes.

It appears the eclass still skips symlinks, so yes.
