Does "Processes exclusions" work with symlinks?

Hi, I got a program I need excluded from "Real-time file system protection".
This program is everywhere else in the system referred to by a symlink to the .exe file in question, because I need to be able to switch between different versions instantly.
So I'm wondering given a directory like this:
program_v5.exe
program_v6.exe
program_v7b.exe
program.exe (symlink to one of the above)

Where the program is always started through the symlink (both from windows and command-line).
Is adding the program.exe to Processes exclusions sufficient, or do I have to add all potential targets of the symlink too?

According to the test I've conducted, a process exclusion must be created for each of the file links.
