The data part of a file is associated with something called an 'inode'. When more than one filename references the same inode number; these files are said to be 'hard linked' together.
On the other hand, there's a special file type whose data part carries a path to another file. Since it is a special file, the OS recognizes the data as a path, and redirects opens, reads, and writes so that, instead of accessing the data within the special file, they access the data in the file named by the data in the special file. This special file is called a 'symbolic link' or a 'soft link'.
