The ATR$ symbols are the F11XQP file attribute for a symlink.  The FAB$ ones are for creating/accessing a symlink.  For the NAML$ bits, I searched ALL the listings on a full Itanium build disk and found no uses of SYMLNK_IN_PATH at all.  For OBJECT_SYMLINK, I found one place in the CRTL that looks at it, but I found zero places that set it.
