That, unfortunately, is really unacceptable. You're taking a
well-defined construct in all versions of Unix (symlinks) and altering
the semantics. If you want to do this, create a new filetype for it,
but don't call this a symlink. The symlink you're describing above
should point to a directory named /home/wolff/tmp/${uid} (the last
portion being the byte sequence 24-7B-75-69-64-7D). Anything else
would mean redefining an existing, well-established concept, which
probably would be detrimental to security, as programs would think
they were doing something else than they really were.
N.B.: For /home this is probably done better with autofs anyway.
