[LUAU] Windows shortcut equivalent in Linux

Hi,

I want to run a program that resides in a particular directory, say
/home/Parse
When the program is run it reads some files in the /home directory using a
relative path ../<file name>

I want to run this program from other directories without having to copy the
program & required files to those directories.

I have tried using symlink, but that does not read the files in /home
I can't seem to figure out how to do this using an alias either.

In windows I create a shortcut & that runs from anywhere I place the
shortcut. I essentially need the same functionality in Linux.

Can someone please tell me the best way to solve this.

Thanks,
Vikram
