A Nix challenge.

I use home-manager, which I like a lot. I can keep my config files, my software, etc. in sync

The problem is that I'd like to do things with home-manager that it seems incapable of doing, like making a symlink from dirA to dirB without dirB then being inside my Nix store.

For example, I use Nextcloud and Syncthing to syncronize files across my system. For example, I'd like my ~/Nextcloud/para/1_Projects directory to be symlinked into my home directory, so ~/1_Projects is goes to the Nextcloud folder.

Yet home-manager seems incapable of doing that. It tries to "own" the Nextcloud directory and then symlink from *its* version of the directory.

So now I need two tools?
