Is there a way to use symlinks instead? I’d think it would be possible, even with Docker - it would just require the torrent directory to be mounted read-only in the same location in every Docker container that had symlinks to files on it.

Wouldn’t symlinks essentially “copy” the file? I need it to be deleted, so it doesn’t fill up the drive

  No. Symlinks and hardlinks are two approaches to creating a “pointer to a file.” They are quite different in implementation, but at the high level:
  
  Symlinks can point to other filesystems, hardlinks only work on the same filesystem.
  
  You can delete the target of a symlink (or even create one that points at nothing), but a hardlink always points to a real file.
