Linked Files

[RLein.1]

I'm working on a project that will be using shared code files from outside the project.  I do not want to copy them, instead I want to link to them.  I discovered how to do this and it works well.  Since I don't want to make any changes to any of the linked files, I would like for the IDE to somehow make easy for me to know that the file I am currently viewing is a linked file.  I have not been able to find a way to do this with CubeIDE.  Does anyone know of a way?  Thanks

The IDE indicates linked files by small arrow overlays on the icons:

The resolved location of linked file can be seen in Properties-> resource.

Thanks for replying Pavel.  Unfortunately, my IDE is not showing the yellow: 

I'm using revision 1.18.0 of the IDE.

@Pavel A.  was highlighting the little squares with the arrow pointing to the upper left corner.

To find the active file in the editor in the Project manager view: right click anywhere in the editor, Show in -> Project explorer.

Show in -> System explorer will open the Windows explorer (or Nautilus, etc. in Linux) and focus on the file on the disk.
