Samba uses this term to refer to links pointing outside of the particular
network share tree:
https://www.samba.org/samba/docs/current/man-html/smb.conf.5.html#WIDELINKS
https://www.samba.org/samba/docs/current/man-html/smb.conf.5.html#ALLOWINSECUREWIDELINKS
Not sure what is the origin or etymology, guess it may stem from "VFS-wide",
links across the entire pathname space.
