Resolving Linux symlinks mounted via samba on Windows?

For the moment, I created a script that SSHes to the devbox from my IDE and runs the p4 edit command using readlink. It's only possible because PHPEd (my IDE) allows running commands on the current file, and my SSH client (SecureCRT) allows running scripts once it logs in. This is not optimal but an acceptable workaround in the meantime.
