Thank you Dennis,
I see the difference now.
If I understand correcly, hard links point to the object, soft links point to the original name. That is the reason if I "4" the original object, hard links continue to work, but soft links point to nothing.
Looks there is no way to find the soft links, they can have different names and be in other directory.
