The doorway is linkml_schema, made with ln -s .linkml/src/<slug>/schema linkml_schema: the schema folder under an ordinary, visible name beside the hidden .linkml/. Finder and most folder pickers hide dot-directories, so the doorway is the one name a person needs to know.

The target is relative, which keeps the link valid after a clone or a move. just --justfile .linkml/justfile linkml-link recreates it where a sync service dropped it. On Windows a junction (mklink /J) takes its place; on a filesystem without links, it is skipped. It is committed beside a tracked .linkml/, or added to the root .gitignore with --gitignored.

An adopted schema gets no doorway, because it is already visible where it lies.
