Suggestion - List of all hard links
I do not know if I am dreaming or not but it could be useful to have the list of all hard links. Why ? This will avoid to loose some directory hard linked to others when we forget that.
Unfortunately, I don't think this is possible. Hard links are not really supported in osx. This is a hack and I would be very careful using it. I personally choose not to use it unless I absolutely have to.

What about somehow modifying the metadata of the folder on hard link creation. For example, adding a note saying this is the original folder and this is the linked folder in the notes section which is available by doing command + i on a folder?
I don't know whether this is possible but just an idea.
@selkhateeb : is there other dangers with hardlinks that several applications trying to modify the same file ?
It should be the same as modifying the same file from multiple applications without a hard link.
