1. - On the NTFS partition, there is a file, settings.conf
  2. - On the ext4 partition, there is a program installed, which expects settings.conf to be
  3. in ~/.program/settings.conf
  4. - I don't want to have to recompile the whole program, and it doesn't expose a way to
  5. move the settings file.
  6. - If I can create a "fake" or linked file on the ext4 partition, which, when read+written,
  7. actually reads and writes to the NTFS file, problem solved.

Symlinks?
