Title:
  Links to folders on unmounted partitions pretend they are broken

  Confirmed
Status in Nautilus:

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: nautilus

  Links to folders on unmounted partitions pretend they are broken
  instead of mounting the partition.

  Steps to reproduce:
  Mount a partition[1], create a link on the Desktop pointing to a folder on that partition, unmount the partition. Then try to open the link on the Desktop - it will tell you it is a broken link.

  Opening the link should mount the partition if it is not already
  mounted.

  [1] I  have tested only with NTFS partitions and an up-to-date Ubuntu
  Jaunty.
