Thus, TMM is also not aware of this tag.
We have this already in our backlog.... but no ETA yet, nor if we do that... sry.
(its even more complicated than moviesets, since we have to break the type boundaries here)
Per default, TMM since its early versions DOES preserve unknown tags in NFO - except you have set to "write clean NFO" in settings.
Just tested this, and after changing some metadata, the showlink is STILL inside NFO....

ntfs links on Windows / Hard links on Linux

You can have the same file multiple times on the same volume/partition without having to copy it. Each link can be renamed at will and does not require any additional space on your hdd, as the links are just a pointer to the file inode.
Example:
"Futurama - Bender's Game", spin-off movie of "Futurama", so it is saved under movies.
But it is listed as special episode S0E5 in Futurama too.
What i did:
I just made a hard link from the movie file, renamed it to S00E05, moved it to the tv show folder and scraped it with TMM.
Now TMM/Kodi see the same file once as movie and once as an episode.
The movie is now linked as an episode without wasting space, and it doesn't even matter if the NFO is deleted or corrupted.

so you have either:
a) keep the movies in one of those 2 locations
b) duplicate it to both locations
everything else will make us more work and make tmm vulnerable to another issues

never heard of it before - must be a new feature..
since that is an "official" feature of kodi we will try to include it
sorry for the wrong understanding of you initial request
