If a symbolic link is absolute, or points to a different export, a mapping rule can be created to make sure the links resolve CIFS clients to the appropriate destination (be it a different CIFS share on the same node, or a share on a different CIFS server).

This article describes the procedure that should be followed to create a symbolic link in Data ONTAP without the need to mount an NFS export. It contains well over 1300 cmdlets that can be used to manage Data ONTAP, whether your environment is running on Data ONTAP 7-Mode or clustered Data ONTAP.
