Yes, I was looking at the original post where hard link was mentioned.
I have no problems with the Gimp appimage using a sym link, also the appimage can access the linux library files. The xsane plugin not going to work with a flatpak (and presumably a snap) since the xsane binary has libsane 1 as a dependency and that in turn has many more.
I suppose for it to work, the devs need to make a flatpak xsane plugin package that incorporates all the dependencies.
It is one reason why I do not use a flatpak except in a VM just to see what is there.
Still waiting to hear what the OP is using.
