Symlink removal without affecting source xpath and symlinked xpath

We have complex data model and approx 100 tables might get affected, so creating and linking leaf by leaf will not be possible for my case,

I’ve considered approches mentioned Tailf:symlink replacement in 7.5.x
Approach1: tailf:link which is not feasible option considering the complexity of our data model
Approach2: pyang --tailf-sanitize option which Inlines the subtree that a ‘tailf:symlink’ points to

with 2nd approach, we would retain both xpaths, but they will become two independant configuration items, is there any way to link both of them without using tailf:link option.

Please let me know if there are any other solutions apart from those I’ve mentioned above, I would like to explore them as well.

Thanks,
Usha
