VMS vs. UNIX file system

What I would like in the UNIX file system the VMS system has is the ability
to break links when a file is written.  I have an application where we wish
to share information between two directories, but I want the link broken if
the file is written when accessed from any directory it is listed in.  This
happens with VMS links because of versions of files in the file system.
