Symlink option for Windows 7?

[Dragonbite]

I am asking this question because I figure a large number of people here will know what I am talking about when I mention a symlink, created by

$ln -s [target] [name of link]

Is there anything or anyway to create the equivalent in Windows (7 specifically)?

I want to use a link like this to save my game files to a folder synchronized with the cloud (Google Drive client on Windows).

I thought I saw an article at some point a while ago, but could not remember where it was. Thanks!

I'll give it a try tonight.
