How can I add files to a STM32CubeIDE project as links?

If anyone is familiar with Code Composer IDE, CCS allows me to add files to a project as links. If this is not possible, perhaps you might have suggestions of how to share common code files between projects without replicating the common code.

CubeIDE is based on Eclipse, exactly as the CCS. So, linked files and folders work in CubeIDE exactly as in CCS.

So CCS provides a menu item to add files as links from within the IDE. That is what I am asking, can I add files as links from within Cube IDE or do I need create the links outside the IDE using Windows?

So there is a way to work within IDE. Under File select Import, under General select File System, then select Advanced, select "create links", then setup your 'from Directory' and 'Into Folder' fields. One or more files/or folders can be then be linked.
