When linking to exisinting files using glob option, only the portion matching the glob is used for names

See original GitHub issue

Consider that I have the below files

I wish to symlink these to ~/.local/bin directory.

When I use:

~/.local/bin:
  path: scripts/display_*
  glob: true

The created symlinks are named single.sh and multiple.sh instead of display_single.sh and display_multiple.sh. Is this the intended behaviour? If so, is there a way to use use globs and still get the symlinks with the complete filename?
