Annoying behavious of Nautilus when drag+drop as link

[Johnny Rosenberg]

When, in Nautilus, I drag a file from one map to another and press
Ctrl+Shift when releasing the mouse button, a link will be created in the
destination folder, but the really annoying thing is that the destination
link will be called something like "Link to Myfile.xxx" if the target file
is MyFile.xxx. I really have to get rid of this adding-"Link
to"-to-every-link-I-create behaviour, because it's a lot of extra work to
remove that part of the link name for all of the files (I would guess there
will be hundreds of them, all spread out in a lot of different folders, in
this particular case since many files could be placed in a few different
folders and I don't want any copies of anything except for backup). Of
course there is a lot of ways I could solve this afterwards, like writing a
script that searches for all those files and removes the first part of their
names, but it would really be the most convenient thing to not having that
stuff added to the name in the first place.

Well, I suppose there should follow a question to this, so:

How can I, using Nautilus, create a link that has exactly the same name as
the target file, that is without the addition of "Link to " in it. I know
this is possible in Windows, by changing a setting somewhere, and I really
hope this is possible in Ubuntu/Gnome/Nautilus too.

Thanks in advance.
