It’s not technically an outliner, but TheBrain is great with giving nodes multiple places to appear. While the full version is on the expensive side, there is a free version that is quite functional.

PiggyDB allows nodes to be descendants of multiple parents. In this sense it is the best at automatic cross-referencing. It’s relatively easy to use, and open source. I recommend taking a look: https://piggydb.net/

MyInfo does what you call a symbolic link.

It seems to me that there is no definite form of a “symlink”.
There are subtle differences in how symlinks are handled. When one creates a symlink in UltraRecall all children of the symlinked topic are symlinked, too. Whereas in MyBase (MyInfo?) only the chosen topic is symlinked, not its children.
And it seems that MyBase can’t export symlinks.
